    The second time I tried, I used a forked PDS that had a 5s timeout modification, edit only, no deletes. It edited my comments, but only up to two months. The rest don’t even show on my own profile, but I still find 10 and 11 months old comments if I search online.

      How do you find those unedited comments? Anyway, I ran it overnight and it said to have processed all 2k+ comments and I did check many pages (not all) including the last page which had almost 2y old comments, and all of them were edited. I had to make a second pass only because some subs were closed for the blackout and those comments couldn’t be touched

        Google searching. How do you see your oldest comments in your own profile? Mine just disappear after the 2 month mark or so. There is nothing. But if I look under saved posts for example, there are old comments still hanging there. I specified to edit everything- gilded, saved, everything

          old.reddit allows you to go further back than that. IIRC there’s a setting about how many links to show, that by default is 25 but you can also choose 100. After that, you go to your comments and manually go back and that should allow you to view much older comments.

          So you just search “your username + reddit”? I’d like to check if any comments were left untouched!
