I want to backup my comments and saved posts from my 10 year old reddit account before I nuke it. Just for sentimental sake. Does anyone have any tips?

    So besides this: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request - which… I just requested for MY account, but I have no idea exactly what context or how much Ill get (my account is 10+ yrs)… there are a few:

    There are also THIS: https://redditcommentsearch.com/ and THIS: https://camas.unddit.com/ which I have used to spelunk through my comment history before, which you COULD use to make a dump of your Reddit history, but it could take a while and be onerous (maybe write a powershell script to bash those utils with direct POST and GET requests, dunno).

      I did the data request a couple of weeks ago and it was surprisingly comprehensive. I got a .csv with all comments in it going back to 2009, messages, what I’d voted on and saved, and even IP logs (but only for the last year or so it looks like on that one.)
