This is the code that will help visualize the reddit data request. There is information on how to use it in the github page. If you want to contribute to a more centralized archive let me know.

This is really neat information! Thanks so much for this. Reading it, my assumption is that it would also be possible to gather user data from other banned subs using this technique? I am thinking of course of r/DRSyourGME which had plenty of positive content and DRS based research as well. Much of it was archived using archive.org, but much was thought to be lost as well.

In theory yes. It all depends on Reddit if they actually include that data in there or not. When you do a data request you are getting all your data. To be honest I don’t think many people are willing to do the data request and then send it over, but if so then in theory yes, you could do an archive like this one.

Oh sure - no disagreements it's a tall order to organize such a thing. Interested in the theory at first. Thanks for swift reply.
