Reddit’s April Fools’ experiment

I wonder, are these subs blocked for users from e.g. Germany and Austria, where the swastika is still banned?

I would hope not. Bans on speech and expression don't work. Besides Reddit isn't based in Germany or France.

Reddit is provided by the owners to people in Germany, say. You can't ship goods/services to Germany bearing swastikas, AIUI, under their law. If Reddit sell to Germany (eg Reddit Gold) then they likely broke the law. /IANAL

The only sub that returns a 421 ("Unavailable For Legal Reasons") here in Germany is r/watchpeopledie, as can be seen in Reddit's latest transparency report.
