Export userdata from your reddit accounts.
You can export all or any of the following:
- Own comments and submissions
- Saved comments and submissions
- Upvoted comments and submissions
For each one of your accounts, you have to create a reddit script API key and secret API key (see https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps > new app > script).
