I'm afraid there is no get_reddit() function in current {RedditExtractoR} v3 -

What's the source of that code (i.e. an older study, a guide or forum / blog post, ... LLM)? If you do need to replicate it as-is and with no or minimal changes, you also need earlier v2 of the package - GitHub - ivan-rivera/RedditExtractor: A minimalistic R wrapper for the Reddit API

Installing through pak::pak("RedditExtractoR@2.1.5") also works, tested with R 4.5.1 on Windows. You also need to have RTools installed to build it.
