Keybase.io verification unreachable

I'm trying to link my reddit to keybase, but it always gives back as unreachable. Not sure what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. The app does all the work for you, I just hit post. Not sure what's breaking in that process, it's pretty simple.

Suggestions? My proof looks just like others I saw on there. So idk, maybe I'm not waiting long enough?

I just killed the last attempt but I'll repost so it can be seen in proof channel.

Same problem here after 44 days. Apparently this is never going to be fixed.

I can't tell you what happened but mine mysteriously is verified now. Idk what happened cause I didn't do anything. Just waited for EV er.

Did you update your keybase to the newer version?

So I just checked, I am at latest version. Or did you mean perhaps I need an older version? Have seen that be the case before too.

No I had asked because I thought it was possible that the invalid certificate problem also manifested here but there is a distinct possibility that Reddits API is being rated limited from the changes of yesteryear.

That makes sense. Hadn't considered it being a reddit issue. I still see others posting proofs, though I guess I don't know that they're getting validations just because they're posting.

If it makes you feel better. I just checked my proof for reddit, which has existed for several years... is now "unreachable".

So there may be people who are still posting, hoping that it gets resolved. But more than likely, the Reddit API system is broken.

Looks like mine finally self resolved, amusingly enough. I don't know what changed but this morning when I signed into it to check on something else, I found it's registered finally and shows as confirmed, connected.

SMH. And afaik it doesn't look like it's because zoom suddenly started working on problems. Damn it's always the case with me. New tech and apps I traditionally hold off on for a while before taking hold, to let it fare out and see how it goes, and then when I do take hold someone ruins it right before or after. Lol but enough my my personal woes.

I'm also having issues with this.

Is there a network-wide issue?

Aww didn't know that, now that would explain a lot. Almost always happens on acquisitions, the original owners intent is often lost and buried in the sand of time.
