I haven't tried this, but maybe it would get the job done: Archive Your Reddit Data While You Still Can | xavd.id

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.
I just gave this a shot and it worked great. Thanks!
That is a really cool project. I will definitely try it.
I think you can use this one https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request
I'm not sure if there's any difference when you select what type of request is.
Oh yeah, that is a good solution. Thank you
So besides this: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request - which... I just requested for MY account, but I have no idea exactly what context or how much Ill get (my account is 10+ yrs)... there are a few:
There are also THIS: https://redditcommentsearch.com/ and THIS: https://camas.unddit.com/ which I have used to spelunk through my comment history before, which you COULD use to make a dump of your Reddit history, but it could take a while and be onerous (maybe write a powershell script to bash those utils with direct POST and GET requests, dunno).
I did the data request a couple of weeks ago and it was surprisingly comprehensive. I got a .csv with all comments in it going back to 2009, messages, what I'd voted on and saved, and even IP logs (but only for the last year or so it looks like on that one.)
Maybe you could use something like this on https://www.reddit.com/u/C4Phoenix ?
For posts and comments, I used power delete suite to edit then delete everything. It let's you export a CSV of all of it before doing so.
