The reddit repo doesn't have any commits since March. If that's their actual codebase, what are all their engineers doing?

It's not the actual codebase, it's kind of a branch that has to be manually updated (by cherry-picking across commits from the "real" one). It used to be kept in pretty close sync with the code live on the site, but it seems like they don't care about updating it any more. There are things that have been live on the site for close to a year now that aren't in the open-source repo.

That's roughly what I had guessed. Thanks for clarifying.
