I have been searching the web on how to backup/download your reddit post history, but I have not found any good tutorials. Could someone explain how to do this?

If you're in Europe it's very easy. A GDPR request is supposed to give you everything you want (and don't want) from your account. Chats, comments, posts, ... everything.

If you're not in europe... phew. I don't know. But i'm sure there's a script on GitHub. Can't search GitHub right now, it's blocked in the office network :( (for good reason..)

EDIT: I found this rexport - it's updated recently and worked for a friend.
