Fixing these would require using curl (or libcurl or w/e) to check if the location header in the request to vxreddit is a site other than reddit.com

Example (shell):

curl -v https://vxreddit.com/r/nfl/s/klVXoLSTdX 2>&1 | grep -i location

Looks like we can handle redirects within Node.js using follow-redirects
