List & export your subreddits

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 00:00:00 +0000

The last few years I've been wanting to export the list of subreddits I joined. It's fun to share with friends having a similar interest, as I've collected many gems throughout the years.

To achieve this I've set-up a simple script. It exports your subreddits to a plain text list.

How to export </a> </h2>

Visit old.reddit.com/subreddits/mine</a> in a desktop browser, make sure you're logged in.</li>
On that page, open</a> your browser developer tools (Keybind: Ctrl+Shift+I).</li>
In the developer tools panel, open the Console tab.</li>

Copy-and-paste the following snippet into the console, press Enter to run it:$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).text()).get().join(" ")+'</body>');javascript.void() </code></pre> </li>
Your full list of subreddits will appear on the webpage.</li> </ol>
Here</a> is mine.

Tap here if you're a nerd.</summary>
For nerds </a> </h2>
Here is the above snippet, expanded:
// Pluck list of subreddits from page, build plain text list var subs = $('.subscription-box') .find('li') .find('a.title') .map((_, d) => $(d).text()) .get() .join(" "); // Put list of subreddits on page $('body').replaceWith('<body>' + subs +'</body>'); javascript.void() </code></pre>
Your complete list of subreddits is located in the sidebar on that</a> page. The script plucks your list of reddits from this sidebar and puts it in an array. Then the array is imploded in a string to show on the page. Super simple. </details>
