Historybutton: links in comments and selfposts.

[creesch]

Requested here

Some considerations:

• Separate tables for "links in comments" and "links in self posts"? Or just a total of domains?
• On by default or an optional thing? I can imagine it takes a while longer to parse each comment for links.
• How do we parse urls? Easiest approach might be to use the rendered html as there we can simply look for a elements.

This would be really useful.

It reminds me of an idea I had to combine the author and domain data as source submitted from, because ultimately they are telling the same story, just in different places. For all intents and purposes, example.org/@user1 and example.org/@user2 are different sources.

• Separate tables for "links in comments" and "links in self posts"? Or just a total of domains?

When I check the history, I'm looking to get an overall picture of their reddit habits, and I'm not so concerned with self vs. link posts. Currently the only effective difference is that one isn't rolled up into the Toolbox table (as per this feature request).

Strawman proposal:

source submitted from	comments	posts
example.com/@yeet	25% (25/100)	50% (50/100)
example.net	74% (74/100)	0%
example.org	1% (1/100)	50% (50/100)

• sort on the sum of all interactions (as above, 37.5% > 37% > 25.5%)
• table could also include the totals, but would probably require larger UI changes; by removing the account table, we could make this one full-width and stack the remaining 2 below it (or vice-versa)

• On by default or an optional thing? I can imagine it takes a while longer to parse each comment for links.

My preference would be optional, or as a setting, but now looking at my strawman, it might be awkward...

Assigning myself here, noticed an uptick of people posting self posts with videos and such in the self post.
