    Note: If you have more than 1000 saved posts, this will only save the most recent 1000. Otherwise this tool is great, been using it to archive my saved and upvoted posts every month or so

      Yes, I tried to keep it simple because it’s a limit that can’t be bypassed. Work around is running it, and deleting the most recent 1000. Then running it again.

      Do you know of a good way to automate the removal?

        Unfortunately I don’t, I didn’t even think of deleting the posts. You’d probably need to use the reddit API yourself which… 💀

    Another tip for more advanced use cases: that command will also generate a json file for each submission with a LOT of metadata.

    JSON Hero has a beautiful UI for exploring those files! (it can also be run locally)
