I made this Firefox extension to always open reddit links in the wayback machine.

There was the Pushshift project, which archived all of Reddit's posts and comments in text (JSON) form. You can download the data here: posts, comments.
If you're on Linux, once you have downloaded and extracted the respective file, you could run something like
grep -m 1 '"id":"11eoagd"' RS_2023-03 | jq
, where11eoagd
is the post ID. It's not pretty, but it works.
