Reddit unveiled comment searching in 2022, locating a specific post or comment can swiftly turn into a difficulty, particularly if it has been removed for any reason.
There are several alternatives if you wish to retrieve deleted Reddit posts, even though many services ceased operations following Reddit’s decision to place their API behind a paywall. One such option is utilizing the Wayback Machine — a tool designed to capture and preserve digital culture by archiving billions of web pages, including those from Reddit. This internet archive is so extensive that it may even house a version of your old MySpace profile.
To access a deleted Reddit post, simply head over to the Wayback Machine and input the URL of the Reddit thread you aim to retrieve. When you search for a specific URL, the Wayback Machine will display any previous snapshots it might have taken of the page. Since some pages may have multiple snapshots, reviewing them allows you to monitor a thread at various points throughout its existence and see any posts that could have been removed or modified.
