eternity VS bulk-downloader-for-reddit

I didn't know that. I thought that change was only for third party apps. Gonna tell on myself for a second, but I have a NSFW alt hooked into eternity for reddit (which now looks to be read only, rip) to archive NSFW posts and bypass reddits 1000 post limit.

According to Eternity I have over 2000 saved posts and 300+ saved comments. (Eternity itself would work great for my purposes except it doesn't retain the URLs for link posts; it does save the permalinks for the Reddit threads themselves but if the site dies or half the subs stay private those won't be very useful...)

Someone made a database where you can set up and collect your saved post past 1000 posts. Well, not like this will matter anyway once the API pricing goes online. Almost everything will get shut down and breaks.

This is where eternity comes in - it lets you 'bypass' the 1000 post limit, and indexes all your saves into a list that you can filter by subreddit, and search through.

In my ~decade on Reddit I've curated a save folder with a lot of NSFW content. Using eternity I have it organized into an excel file with post titles, subreddits, date posted, and links to the comments. Using this what would be the easiest way to mass download my collection so when imgur gets wiped I still have access to things and they don't get nuked on the 15th?

You might like Eternity, which exports your Reddit comments/posts/saves to a Firebase database.

I do believe you can do this natively with Reddit Premium or with a tool like eternity

You can see all of your saved things past 1000 by using this. (I haven't tried, but some research I did a while ago says it works)

Until now, I ran a script every day using bulk-downloader-for-reddit to archive about ten subreddits. It usually took less than an hour each time, even when he had to download video files of a few hundred MB.

Look into bdfr, it's a cli reddit downloader.

I'm with you! I've already mass edited all my comments on both and removed all my submissions on this account, and my other/older one. Just waiting on bdfr to finish pulling all of my saved things for me, then I'll delete both. I may just be a tiny drop in the user ocean, but some of my posts definitely helped others and contributed useful things.

FWIW I just backed up my sub with bulk-downloader-for-reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1479c7b/historic_reddit_archives_ongoing_archival_effort/ -> https://github.com/aliparlakci/bulk-downloader-for-reddit

A GDPR export should have all the data, but they’re taking their time processing. An alternative is to use an archiving tool like BDFR. Unfortunately, it’s limited to 1000 posts due to API limitations.

r/DataHoarder was the big reason I started using Reddit regularly. While I don't speak for all of them, many will suggest bdfr or HTTrack for all your scraping needs.

I’m going to delete my Reddit account soon to further the protest, since by this point I don’t use it much anymore. I already backed up my entire post history using this tool since there are some important memories there for me, so I basically have nothing to lose now.
