note: explain why redirect is needed for redd.it
If you try visiting a redd.it site like <https://redd.it/1fwqjw> (first link that came up when searching "site:redd.it"), you may think that the redirect works because it goes to your configured instance. However, there's a leak: redd.it is a redirect to a www.reddit.com site, and that's when the redirect to instance happens. If you observe the network traffic, you'll see that a GET request goes to redd.it, and redd.it returns HTTP code 302 and location https://www.reddit.com/... Let's not do that. Redirect at redd.it so that requests don't hit reddit servers. This does not seem to work for teddit instances, so don't redirect for them.
