reddit-user-to-sqlite VS voat

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.

Done: https://github.com/xavdid/reddit-user-to-sqlite/issues/15

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:

https://github.com/xavdid/reddit-user-to-sqlite/

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

I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.

Oh true, I forgot about that myself. Looks like the repo is still available - https://github.com/voat/voat

What is the next reddit though? I tried to jump onto voat.co, but that was a POS. Mastadon isn't cutting it, and is more of a twitter alternative anyway. Maybe somebody virtualizes a bunch of PHPBB instances (one per community)? And copies all the old discussions over?

Yes. I had forgotten about the vaccine passports. I got mine from voat.co and printed it up and no one ever asked me for it except at a bar. The hospital I work for didn't ask me for it because they peeked at all employees' medical records.

There used to be this site called voat.co

The old Voat site was completely open source. https://github.com/voat/voat/tree/master

I want to thank everyone on this sub, because you have been a very huge part of enlightening me with the Truth. I would visit r/conspiracy, r/The_Donald, 4chan, voat.co, Twitter, Gab, you name them. The most strong spirit of love, freedom, enlightenment, and Truth came from people on this sub, such as u/RMFN, polkadotgirl, peyotecayote, Obi Wan person, and many others who have been banned or just disappeared. If any of you are reading this, I want to say thank you.
