    You mean reddit.com/domain/SITE, right? When I try reddit.com/cnn.com, it takes me to a random thread from a month ago where as /domain/cnn.com shows me the overview of where it's posted -- I'm just checking to make sure I'm not doing something wrong here and there's another display method I wasn't aware of...

      But for example, if you wanted to see where the article https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/01/03/nancy-pelosi-reagan-quote-dreamers-gop-vpx.cnn was submitted, you can use this address:

      https://www.reddit.com/https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/01/03/nancy-pelosi-reagan-quote-dreamers-gop-vpx.cnn

      That redirects to the submission of it in /r/politics.
