Afaik the notification was suppressed, see the linked github issue in the post, or this one. I can guarantee the notification wasn’t there on my end or else I would have noticed it

Lately they’ve been rate-limiting more heavily but if I wait and refresh enough times, or change circuits enough times, it tends to work

Wow nice. Still not really friendly to beginners, since this is something they would have to dig into documentation to find, but it’s good to know

switch to the old.reddit.com site (onion version tends to work more often), and if that doesn’t work, switch Tor circuits (the option is under Tor Browser menu bar, I have it pinned to the top-bar for convenience)

This was an official Flatpak from Tor Browser, so there’s no reason why it should be less reliable than the packages from distribution maintainers. Not to mention for atomic distros, flatpaks are the official way to install software.

This seems like something that Flatpak should be able to handle though. Afaik Mullvad Browser never had this issue. Flatpaks also have numerous advantages, like automatically handling desktop shortcuts.
