OP already got “basic dns help” in the top-level responses.
Please build that foundation you mentioned out of correct information.

I only take issue with short and wrong general statements where there is really no need to double down on them.
I have no intent to reply any further.

Sure, it’s not helpful, but just because something is out of scope for the original question doesn’t mean you can reiterate objectively false statements.

They probably should have worded it like you did in your first sentence.

DNS can deal with ports.

You can use a SRV record to specify the port for applications (not browsers) that support it.

You could actually still use this (on Android), because you can visit Reddit in the browser, and Firefox allows you to use an addon called “Tampermonkey”.

But then I don’t know if the json file would be of any use to you, probably not :/

If you only need json, I recently wrote a userscript that exports saved posts and comments for myself. Please report back if it works/you decide to use it :)

(It works by scraping the pages, so its gonna take some time) (It also has horrible ui, sorry) https://github.com/hyperacuity/userscripts
