reddit-user-to-sqlite VS Reddit

If you know how to write python, https://github.com/xavdid/reddit-user-to-sqlite can be twisted to do what you want.

This tool can download all post and comments by a specified user. Since the tool uses the API that's about to go bye-bye, it's limited to the most recent 1000 posts and 1000 comments and will stop working at the end of the month. This article explains the set-up very simply. It took me less than 5 minutes to set it up and download my post history.

This tool was effective and surprisingly fast for me, but took some tinkering to get working. Easier if one is already handy with Python and pip/pipx. YMMV.

Does PDS get around the 1000 item limit for its backups? I tried reddit-user-to-sqlite and it's missing about the first two years worth of my comments. If not, the only other option seems to be to "request my data" through reddit itself.

I see someone else has already filed one about saving the context.

I got nervous that the API changes would be the end of Apollo, and thus largely the end of my Reddit use. So, I made a way to export all of my post and comment data into a searchable SQLite archive:

It can pull your recent activity from the API, but also has support for pulling data from a GDPR archive (a feature I'm very proud of).

I wrote a tool that pulls all your posts and comments into a searchable SQLite database: https://github.com/xavdid/reddit-user-to-sqlite

Slashdot, reddit, and HN are similar in that the source code was available. For HN, as part of arc under the Artistic license. All 3 abandoned public source code releases.

While it would likely have zero overlap with the code in use today if you look at the old code Reddit used to publish for voting the model at that point used to have flags/checks for :

I've been trying to host my own instance of Reddit from archived source code on GitHub. Even though I am aware that's probably not a good idea since many dependencies are broken and there's practically no documentation on anything (and it's really old legacy code), but I still decided to give it a shot.

Shh, don't tell spez, the code is already available on the github https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/

Automod to act based on keywords/domains/etc., ideally using the same language/flags/regex/etc. of the original automod (old code) so that it's possible to use existing code. (For detecting off-topic posts, enforcing a title format, reminding the users to add missing details to post, filtering profanity, shadowbanning spammers, etc.)

Reddit pre enshittification is actually open source so spinning up your own Reddit instance should be trivially easy. I’m very surprised no one did this after the API protests started

There are already 1:1 reddit clones based on older versions of their software that was open source: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit
