That entry says that a recent update should have fixed it, yet it's obviously still happening.

In retrospect that makes sense, the last thing we want is a recursive effort to try and update things all the time.

Would it resort it into the original posted area if it later grabs the metadata, or is the push a one time thing?

I can appreciate that. I would suggest do both - go back to the niche reddits while they work for you, and hopefully things don't get even worse to affect that. Meanwhile, check back to these newer alternatives often to see what's going on. Perhaps at some point you can either have both worlds or even finally transition away. You have to do what works for you in the end.

Redditors made such memes a thing, we're taking them with us where we go.
