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?

I just gave this a shot and it worked great. Thanks!

I tried it as well, and it's pretty simple if you're comfortable in a terminal or on the command line.

On macOS, I used DB Browser for SQLite to view the data, and that works pretty well. Installed with Homebrew: brew install --cask db-browser-for-sqlite. Then, I just launched the new app and opened the reddit.db file. That file gets created wherever you run reddit-user-to-sqlite.

That is a really cool project. I will definitely try it.
