A lot of what I consider useful posts were lost when digg changed over and chances are the same is going to happen to reddit.

I just made sure for example that this post is archived and bookmarked for myself because it is super useful for those of us who use a K400 keyboard.

There is still time to help Archive Team do just this but for all of Reddit. http://tracker.archiveteam.org/reddit

Good advice in general, but for anything older than this year, there's a big torrent floating out there. I suspect you'd be able to find your content no problem even if reddit goes belly up.

Not knocking this method, just letting folks know that if you do miss the window to do this, there might still be a fallback option for you. See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the

Yeah, it makes me uncomfortable knowing that SO much information is going to be lost with mass comment deletion or whatever else. Luckily as abff08f4813c said there are archives and also this (info) which might be the same thing.

There are also extensions like this in case you want your own local copy of single pages so you're definitely not going to lose them.

(Also thanks from a K400 owner, haha.)

The ability to finally disable those super annoying gestures permanently was a life saver. It was driving me up the wall.

EDIT: These are mine if you want to copy

Thanks... useful feature for some uses I guess but a right pain when you don't want them.
