This is the code that will help visualize the reddit data request. There is information on how to use it in the github page. If you want to contribute to a more centralized archive let me know.

    Nice work, thanks for sharing your know how.

    I would give it try.

    so if iam understanding this right, reddit deleted the ppshow sub, not the individual users data which was posted onthe sub, and we all could retrieve this data with the python scrip.

      Not quite. Reddit banned the subreddit, but the data is still there. You can get your data by doing a data request to Reddit. You can follow the link on the GitHub page or just search google for Reddit data request. Once you do the data request you’ll get a link after a few minutes or hours depending on the size of it. This project all it does is use the information in that request which is in a csv file which you can open in excel or so, and converts it into an html page that shows your posts kind of like the same way you would see them on Reddit.

      The problem with this approach is that each user needs to get their own data. I’m happy to generate the html on my side if you send me your requests file. Just make sure to open the posts.csv file on excel and remove anything you don’t want to share and then I can run the tool and publish it so everyone can have access to it.

        Does it mean, that with such tool all the DDs can be retrieved?

          No, each user needs to request their data manually via the Reddit data request.

          https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

          This will give you a zip file with multiple Csv files inside. These files can be viewed in excel.

          This tool just creates a web page from that Csv to make it look nicer and possible to put everything into one place online.

            But if Jake2b submits a request and shares the result with you we can get all his DD back?? 👀

              Yes, if Reddit actually still has that data (which it should). In the meantime I updated the website with all the data since 7th of January this year by using the archive that @shazam33 provided on X.
