Expose upvoteRatio on Devvit Post object #266

Description

@Alan-Foster

Please expose the existing Reddit API upvote_ratio field on the Devvit Post object as upvoteRatio?: number field. This is increasingly important after Reddit’s May 28, 2026 r/modnews announcement, “Protecting communities from scrapers and platform abuse,” which deprecates unauthenticated .json access and directs developers toward Devvit.

  • HTTP access to Reddit API endpoints through Devvit is restricted
  • OAuth access through oauth.reddit.com does not appear to be supported from inside Devvit

This leaves moderation apps without an official way to read vote ratio data, even though the underlying Reddit API appears to have it.
