Isnt knowing the subreddit valuable information to determine sentiment?

  correct, the article has some good examples about this But even without that, the context or just the topic of the discussion should help

  Yep. And familiarity with Reddit/subreddit memes and inside jokes. And entire subreddits devoted to parodying styles of comment which are utterly earnest on other reddits which I'm not sure how you'd even begin to classify...

  But it also applies to the model. If you label data taking into account the context (which subreddit this was posted), your model also must take this into account, or it will be wrong as well. If the same sentence can be labeled two different ways depending on the source, then, the model must also know the source or it won't know what to do. But then you didn't create a general language model, you created a reddit language model.
