Cool, I love it when people write nntp-interfaces for things!

I think the "killer feature" for your project would be
posting/voting/following up.

(There are at least a couple of nnreddit backends for Gnus as well. I
don't know how well they work.)

On the Microsoft GitHub-page referenced above you write:

Hm, you can get a feed for each subreddit (so an article per story, not
a group), and a feed for the comments of that subreddit (article per
comment):

 · https://www.reddit.com/r/pathogendavid/comments/tv8m9/pathogendavids_guide_to_rss_and_reddit/

Unfortunately the comments rss doesn't seem to contain the original
reddit story, which makes for disjoint reading. That's a weird
oversight...

You can get rudimentary threading in Gnus for a comments rss using group
parameters like this:

  ((gnus-simplify-subject-fuzzy-regexp "^.* on ")
   (gnus-simplify-subject-functions '(gnus-simplify-subject-fuzzy)))

but the threading is by subject, so only one level nesting - your
solution looks neater!
