How do you deal with Reddit being off limits?

Reddit is arguably one of the last corners of the internet where you can still find actual people and over the years it became one of my most used source for literally anything.

But Anthropic must have really pissed them off and Claude refuses (and has hard safeguards anyway) to access anything from Reddit.

For a bit I had a working workaround: I built a simple proxy that acted as a literal mirror and added to my instructions that Claude must NEVER try to access Reddit directly, but use my proxy instead.

Then a new safeguard came along: Claude won’t visit any URL which is not either a direct result of its search tool, or has been explicitly mentioned by me.

Does anyone have a solution for this? It’s absurd that Claude isn’t allowed to read a Reddit post that might have relevant information for a user initiated request.
