At the bottom of the comment embeds is a link to the subreddit from which the comment was extracted. This link has had an extra domain appended, so we'd end up with URLs like `http://www.redditmedia.com/www.reddit.com/r/worldnews`. The problem stemmed from the fact that `get_domain()` returns a protocol-less URL (`www.reddit.com/r/worldnews`). Thus, `add_sr()` (which it ends up being passed into) assumes it has been handed a relative URL and appends a domain. Instead of getting the entire domain, we now just get the subreddit path and let `add_sr()` handle the domain (and protocol) later.
