Description: Shows a randomly chosen post (or post's thumbnail) from one or several reddit's subreddits.
You can make it load a new post by left clicking and open it by middle click.
It was inspired in https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4jx4oh/get_a_random_rshowerthoughts_post_as_your_shell/ ... and somehow became much more than initially expected.
Notes:
When asked to show an image, the plasmoid will try to find it. There is no guaranty it will get a link to a image from reddit. This depends on many thinks. Remember that it's impossible to know how every mod configures their subreddit.
Right now the plasmoid doesn't know how to log in. This means that some subreddits are inaccessible.
There is no multireddit support, and there is no intention to add it. Sorry.
(Version 1.5 was broken. What worked on plasmoidviewer didn't work on desktop. Sorry about that)

1.12+1
Reddit changed the way images are shown, so now high quality images can only be shown within a webpage. I guess this is to deter third party apps (like mine) to show content. The new version will load the page, but it wouldn't look as good as before. Nothing much I can do.
Thats weird. I'm on debian, so l am way behind 5.20, so I will have to run neon on a virtual machine. That will take a while aa my internet is dead (dont gonna downlad a neon image on mobile). But I will look into it as soon as I can.
Thanks for adding the color picker option! I really wish all Plasmoids did this. One issue I'm having is that trying to use multiple subreddits, by using a comma delimiter as described, does not appear to work. I got around this by using multiple instances of the plasmoid. Anyone else having this issue?
That is weird. Have you tried reloading several times to be sure it isn't the random number generator not being very random? Also, avoid using spaces (not sure if that will affect).
Ah maybe I'm mis-using the Plasmoid. If I have (2) subreddits, it will only show one quote at a time, instead of (1) quote from each. Correct? If so, I misunderstood. Thanks again.

9 Love this plasmoid. I've added a mix of random thoughts, funny stuff (memes etc),
Glad you like it.
Hello! With Plasms 5.20.x your plasmoid is not working anymore and crashes plasmashell every time you add it to desktop. Could you please take a look?

Hello! Any news?
Sorry for the lack of communication, real life problems took a while. Try the new version.
Thanks a lot for the update!
Hey, could you please add a proxy support?
Why not just change global proxy settings?
KDE global proxy doesn't work for me. I will try it again.
Could you please add the ability to disable scrollbars?!
I mean it looks useless especially when transparency enabled: https://i.imgur.com/FlgBtx4.png
There you go.

Yep, that is correct.
9 Great Plasmoid :)
I love this plasmoid. Could you please add an option that allows to choose the text colour?
Never mind. I have figured out that I can change the colour by changing the value in contents/ui/main.qml
Hey!, sorry for taking so long to reply. Glad you figured it out yourself. I added the option anyway, so give it a try.
