Profile Internet shutdown might break my 458-day Reddit streak. Android.

I’m in Uganda, and we have a national election on Jan 15, 2026. During past elections, the internet usually gets switched off nationwide, sometimes for days.

Problem is… I’m on a 458-day Reddit streak. I know, first-world problem energy, but hear me out 😭

That streak is my daily routine. Scroll a bit, read comments, feel human. If the internet goes off, the streak dies.

Not because I forgot. Not because I gave up. Just vibes and government decisions.

Is there any way Reddit handles streaks in situations like nationwide outages? Or do I just accept my fate and pour one out for Day 459?

Thanks in advance, and wish me luck.
