I’m now seeing reports over on !RedditMigration that people who have deleted all the comments from their accounts - even those who did it years ago, not just in the past few weeks out of protest - are having all their comments reappear again. This apparently also includes comments that were overwritten with edits.

Scummy behaviour from Reddit, but a potential boon for archivists. People who are running backups or maintaining archives of Reddit comments might want to take this opportunity to re-check historical deleted comments to see if they can be collected now, in this remaining window of API accessibility.

I’m not super familiar with the Archive Team - what distinguishes this specific archiving effort from the dataset that PushShift archived? Is this primarily focusing on archiving specifically media (video, iamges), or comments/submissions in the time period since PushShift closed, or everything from the entire time period from 2005 onward?

I run it using Docker on my Unraid server. It is available on community applications so it is easy to setup.

This is such an awesome project and something I had been worried about with reddit dying a slow death. Thank you for the post and bringing awareness to the project!
