I have a loop that will search for my content everywhere, I also have another loop to search a specific sub, but I cannot find a way to do both filters in the same loop.
‘’‘for submission in reddit.subreddit(“sub”).hot(limit=10000)’‘’
‘’‘for comment in redditor.comments.hot(limit=10000):’‘’
The problem is the 1000 limit, if I try to refine the content with python while in the loop, then these 1000 results will miss the target, and 99% of those results will be comments of other people.
The result is that a lot of my comments won’t be touched. I can see a lot of it in search engines.
How did you do to remove as many comments as possible? I know you can also sort by controversial but I was wondering is there is a PRAW finesse that I could use here.
I haven’t used PRAW very much, but did some digging. Good news is you’re not doing something wrong. Bad news is that it looks like this is a limitation on Reddit’s end (as annoying as that is).
There are (were?) ways to work around it, by making use of repeated queries using things like time-based searching. Example with some history It seems like Reddit continually makes changes that happen to invalidate these methods.
Have you tried Power Delete Suite? Not sure if it has a working way of getting around this.
