eternity VS Joplin

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)

I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
