/*
REDDIT TEXT SUBREDDIT (small widget)

Setup
- Variables with the suffix `Colour` should be a hex colour string
- Variables with the suffix `Size` should be a number
- Variables with the prefix `show` should be a boolean

In the `subreddit` variable, place the name of the subreddit that you want to use. The name does not need the `r/` and should be a subreddit with only text posts.

Example subreddits include showerthoughts, jokes, twosentencehorror, godtiersuperpowers,  quotes and todayilearned
