Honestly the best advice I got was to just start, even if it's bad at first.

How to search Reddit archives
Type a Reddit username into the box above. We search a public Reddit archive, which saves posts and comments as they are made, together with Reddit itself. You get the account's history in one place, including posts and comments that were later deleted or removed, if the archive saved them first.
Why search the archive?
- Find deleted and removed content. The archive keeps copies after Reddit takes them down. More on deleted posts.
- Go further back. Reddit's own listings stop at about 1,000 items. The archive reaches older posts.
- See hidden profiles. If someone hid their profile, the archive still has their posts.
- No API key or login. Just type a username.
What this tool can't do
- Search by keyword or topic. It works by username.
- Find posts deleted before the archive saved them.
- Show anything from private subreddits.
- Show messages, votes or saved posts.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Reddit archive?
A Reddit archive is a public copy of Reddit posts and comments, saved as they are made. Because it is a copy, it can still hold posts that were later deleted or removed on Reddit.
How do I search the Reddit archive?
Type a Reddit username into the search box on this page. We search a public Reddit archive and Reddit itself together, and show the account's archived and live posts and comments in one place.
Is this a Pushshift alternative?
For looking up a user, yes. Pushshift stopped being publicly available in 2023. This tool searches a public archive by username without needing an API key or a Reddit login.
Can I search the archive by keyword instead of username?
Not here. This search works by username: you see everything we can find from one account. To find posts by topic, Reddit's own search or Google with site:reddit.com work better.
Does the archive have everything?
No. A post or comment deleted before the archive saved it is not there, and private subreddits are never archived. Coverage is good for most active accounts, but it has gaps.
