I'd like to mention that in 2022 Reddit still does not have IPv6.
The reason I was given back around ~2010, is how they block IP addresses. Allegedly, according to an admin (who shall not be named) is how Reddit blocks spam with IP filtering. Apparently the technology only works with v4, and somehow Reddit deeply integrated the tech into their stack. Also the idea that allowing v6 would allow circumvention, which to some extent is probably true.
The TLDR is that Reddit is still not on v6 because they have a draconian IP filtering kit built into their technology stack.
