A bit of searching led me to https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/7lnywh/how_can_i_download_vreddit_videos/.json which contains https://v.redd.it/0xt0ozlk8b421/DASH_4_8_M specified as the fallback URL, changing that to https://v.redd.it/0xt0ozlk8b421/audio gets the audio track, then trusty ol' `ffmpeg` to combine the two and make it all small enough and in a format that the Mastodon web interface accepts, et (eventually) viola.

@keithzg @Gargron Or .. you can just use youtube-dl, which has a handler for Reddit Video 😊

@moritzheiber Yeah, in theory. I even updated it and it still only downloaded the video, not the audio, though :/

@keithzg I just downloaded it without any issues .. ? Use the original post URL, not the straight video URL.

@moritzheiber *shrug* that's exactly what I did at first, I'm surprised that it didn't work too!
