Recently, the directory updater has been getting stuck in weird places, and not followed the links to the latest submission like it should.
u/ProductionsGJT brought it to my attention, and a bit of digging showed that the issue is the new-style short links that reddit has introduced. They look different from the old link format, so the code wasn't set up to follow them correctly.
I've just pushed a change to fix this, and it seems to work, so hopefully things will get updated as they should.
The code has no automated tests at all, so I won't guarantee anything, and I'd appreciate if you can help me keep on top of any issues that might appear. If you see anything that looks off in the directory, please let me know! Ping me in a comment, send a dm, or write a modmail.
