How to properly backup the content of your reddit account? (feddit.nl)

I have been searching the web on how to backup/download your reddit post history, but I have not found any good tutorials. Could someone explain how to do this?

Just a thought - you should wait until the blackout is over at least, those submissions aren't accessible right now. After that, do it ASAP. Some communities are already permanently dark and more will be over time.

I've used a Python app called bdfr though not for the purposes of archiving an entire account. There are tutorials on how to do so out there if you search; perhaps there's a more purpose-made tool.

Just looked over the bdrf webpage. I think this is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks!

I was unable to use it because of issue #841. 😢
