I’ve been on reddit for over twenty years, somehow.

You can export all your reddit data, so I wrote some code that handles their archive format . All of my reddit posts and comments are now on my website. () Some highlights: my first post, my most-upvoted post and comment, and this gem from Dean that I posted to r/WTF in 2012. Heights Will Wuther!!!!

Their archive is super easy to work with—it’s CSV all the way down. My HTML generator only has a couple of features past the bare minimum—it automatically tags posts based on the subreddit it was originally posted to, and it autolinks bare URLs in the post body. That said, I haven’t gotten images to work yet—media aren’t included in the archive, so I’ve got to figure out how to fetch them. That only affects one of my posts though, so I think this’ll do for now.
