Reddit Data Retrieval Request timeline thread

Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 14 points – 1 years ago

I thought about it and it'll be helpful a thread going of folks who made a request, and when they got their data. To help give other folks an idea of when they might here back, if they put a request in now.

I put my request in the day before the blackout. Still waiting to hear back from Reddit.

Edit: Just FYI I ended up deleting my account before hearing back on this. If I ever do hear back I will update on here, but at this point I'm seriously doubting that will happen.

Edit2: 2023-07-10 - they got back to me. Since I no longer have a reddit account this was emailed to the email address I registered the account with.

8 year old account.

EDIT: (for Firefox) If you can't remember the date and want to know, you can get it by opening your firefoxes profile directory -> find places.sqlite -> open it with sqlite3 command line or with some gui software and execute this:

SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request%';

EDIT: Added received date

For firefox on windows which sqlite manager extension should I use? The SQLite Manager I found says "This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing."

I had this picture in my head that sqlite-manager by lazierthanthou was still available, but now looking into it seems like it has been abandoned for quite some time. My bad! But about this "new" add-on i do not know.
For command line use you can use the binaries like @abff08f4813c said, which can be found here or some gui program like for example DB Browser

Awesome thankyou.

(It feels weird putting the year and month before day.)

Edit: I finally got to delete my account.
