Quarantined subreddits

Open TomArrow opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

This doesn't seem to catch comments and posts in quarantined subreddits. Anything that can be done about that?

As far as, I remember comments made in quarantined subreddits no longer appear on a user's overview page, correct ?

I'm not sure. I use the old.reddit.com domain and I can still see them personally when I'm logged in, they are just marked with "Quarantined".

Well if you go to your overview page, are you able to delete those comments manually ?

I think so, I have the classical delete button. I'd like to not do it manually though because I want to make use of the backup function of the PowerDeleteSuite.

What I did try was look at the requests being made to https://www.reddit.com/user/[myusername]/comments/.json?q=&after=&sort=hot&t=all That output has zero results. But if I remove the ".json" part, it does show the quarantined comments.

I did find some clues, apparently one has to opt-in to quarantined subreddits for them to be available via the API. Some posts about it: https://old.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/3fx3gt/quarantined_content_will_be_unavailable_through/ https://old.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/5vutzv/quaranopt_in_doesnt_seem_to_be_working/ https://old.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/9jfwqr/can_we_get_an_option_to_opt_into_quarantined_subs/ https://old.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/asprwx/api_for_quarantined_subreddits/

Here's some library that has this implemented apparently: https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/blob/5f7828b506ff7cd3b52cd7ac676ce28898980bea/praw/models/reddit/subreddit.py#L1570

Couldn't find other documentation though. Would be nice if this software could automatically opt-in to all the subreddits the user has been active on somehow, to catch those posts.
