Using the 'after' parameter (timestamps) to loop through Reddit comments can miss some from busy threads

This can happen with super active threads where hundreds of comments are made per second (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/jo7lel/discussion_thread_2020_general_election_part_25/). Using "after_id" solves this.

(after_id doesn't actually work in the current pushshift API)

This does work with the beta API, so let's hope the problem fixes itself.
