Note: If you have more than 1000 saved posts, this will only save the most recent 1000. Otherwise this tool is great, been using it to archive my saved and upvoted posts every month or so
Yes, I tried to keep it simple because it’s a limit that can’t be bypassed. Work around is running it, and deleting the most recent 1000. Then running it again.
Do you know of a good way to automate the removal?
Unfortunately I don’t, I didn’t even think of deleting the posts. You’d probably need to use the reddit API yourself which… 💀
I’ve just found this but I haven’t tried it
Oooh that looks sweet, let me know how it goes for you!
I have to go to sleep, it’s almost 3am LMAO
but it looks great, I’ve just set it up

I don’t use Windows, but yes, you do need Python.
