- If you search “the username” site:reddit.com you get everything.
- Reddit shows it all. Just search for “author:[username]”. It shows all comments and posts made by said user
- If I go on your profile and hit the search bar then hit best of I can see everything
- You can just add “/search” to the end of the profile URL
- Click on any username, go to the search bar, go to “best of” and everything shows up.
I’ve just checked. Even if you’ve deleted your profile on Reddit, the search still identifies your posts. I don’t really care as I’ve left the platform but I was mildly surprised.
This is why that comment anonymizer is a thing. It edits your comments & scrambles everything to gobbledygook so even if you didn’t delete the account it’s illegible. I guess maybe someone could still find a specific page and go back on the Wayback Machine to see what you originally wrote?
That feels like a lot of work for a comment that says “this”

Possibly, yes. But the page would have needed to have been archived, and not everything has been. For a random subreddit that isn’t massively popular? I dunno.
