Reddit Fetch via Gemini CLI

When WebFetch fails to access Reddit (blocked, 403, etc.), use Gemini CLI via tmux.

Pick a unique session name (e.g.,

gemini_abc123

) and use it consistently throughout.

Setup

bash

tmux new-session -d -s <session_name> -x 200 -y 50
tmux send-keys -t <session_name> 'gemini -m gemini-3-pro-preview' Enter
sleep 3  # wait for Gemini CLI to load

Send query and capture output

bash

tmux send-keys -t <session_name> 'Your Reddit query here' Enter
sleep 30  # wait for response (adjust as needed, up to 90s for complex searches)
tmux capture-pane -t <session_name> -p -S -500  # capture output

How to tell if Enter was sent

Look for YOUR QUERY TEXT specifically. Is it inside or outside the bordered box?

Enter NOT sent - your query is INSIDE the box:

╭─────────────────────────────────────╮
│ > Your actual query text here       │
╰─────────────────────────────────────╯

Enter WAS sent - your query is OUTSIDE the box, followed by activity:

> Your actual query text here

⠋ Our hamsters are working... (processing)

╭────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ >   Type your message or @path/to/file     │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────╯

Note: The empty prompt

Type your message or @path/to/file

always appears in the box - that's normal. What matters is whether YOUR query text is inside or outside the box.

If your query is inside the box, run

tmux send-keys -t <session_name> Enter

to submit.

Cleanup when done

bash

tmux kill-session -t <session_name>
