I have a loop that will search for my content everywhere, I also have another loop to search a specific sub, but I cannot find a way to do both filters in the same loop.
‘’‘for submission in reddit.subreddit(“sub”).hot(limit=10000)’‘’
‘’‘for comment in redditor.comments.hot(limit=10000):’‘’
The problem is the 1000 limit, if I try to refine the content with python while in the loop, then these 1000 results will miss the target, and 99% of those results will be comments of other people.
The result is that a lot of my comments won’t be touched. I can see a lot of it in search engines.
How did you do to remove as many comments as possible? I know you can also sort by controversial but I was wondering is there is a PRAW finesse that I could use here.
You can request a data export from Reddit which will have a more complete list of all your comments and all their IDs. Then you can feed those IDs into PRAW to do whatever you want. You can use Excel to filter it by sub, too.
Don’t have any more specific advice since I haven’t done this in a few years, but hopefully just having the data export will help you out (assuming Reddit is even processing those right now).
