Deprecated for emacs-subreddit
==============================

At some point, python versions after 3.8 refused user invocations of
``pip install --user`` on various Linux distributions.  As described below
you can still run ``make install`` with ``PYTHON=python3.8``, but for the ten
guys who reddit just for ``r/emacs``, skip the disaster of Gnus
altogether, and try:

https://github.com/dickmao/emacs-subreddit.git

Install
=======
Alas, you'll need Cask_. Then,

::

   git clone https://github.com/dickmao/nnreddit.git
   PYTHON=python3.8 make install

Also see Troubleshooting_.

Usage
=====
In your ``.emacs`` or ``init.el``, use ONE of the following:

::

   ;; Applies to first-time Gnus users
   (custom-set-variables '(gnus-select-method (quote (nnreddit ""))))

or, if you're an existing Gnus user,

::

   ;; Applies to existing Gnus users
   (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnreddit ""))

Then ``M-x gnus``.

Initial setup should guide you through OAuth and find your existing subreddit subscriptions.

Select a subreddit via ``RET``.  Rapidly catch yourself up via ``N`` and ``P``.  Instantly catch-up with ``c``.

Create a post via ``a``.

Reply to articles with ``f`` or ``r``.  Include original with ``F``.

Vote articles via ``R -`` (down), ``R =`` (up), or ``R 0`` (retract).

From the ``*Group*`` buffer, press ``g`` to refresh all subreddits.  ``M-g`` on a particular subreddit to refresh individually.

From the summary buffer, ``/o`` redisplays articles already read.  ``x`` undisplays them.

``S s`` edits articles.

``S c`` cancels articles.

``R g [subreddit]`` takes you to an *unsubscribed* subreddit.

You can subscribe to it via the ``u`` keybinding from the ``*Group*`` buffer [1]_.

Gnus beginners may find the interface bewildering.  In particular, subreddits with no unread articles do not display.  Use ``L`` to bring them out of hiding.

.. [1] Gnus users are familiar with the tragedy of ``u`` doing double duty as subscriber and unsubscriber.  ``u`` is really a toggle even though the attached command is ``gnus-group-unsubscribe-current-group`` |---| if that doesn't trigger your UX sensibility, then never mind I mentioned it.
