But then isn't adminforge requesting that content in some way from Reddit which is at least a boost to their stats?
If by stats you mean how many times something is read, that's not really relevant since the content is being served by the mirror without Reddit's ads or trackers.
I don't know anything about this particular site, but typically these kinda sites operate on a cached version that is requested just once. So reddit would get a single view no matter how many views your link gets.
For sites like Google's cache or archive.org, they often were gonna cache the site no matter what.

the link in this post (which is 2h old) has comments, newest i found just 35 minutes old, so it at least do some refreshes.
This is good to know and could be something I'd use a lot, but it isn't working. Every Reddit address I try it on, the reply is "Nothing here. Head back home?"
Does the page need to be pre-prepared, like a web.archive.org address?
You could try another instance. Here's a list for you https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit-instances/blob/master/instances.md
Or you could get this add-on and have it do it for you https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
