How to Find All Posts by a Reddit User

Short answer: to find all posts by a Reddit user, look the username up on a tool that gathers their submissions into one page, then search and filter inside it. Reddit's own profile gives you an ordered feed with no keyword box, and it quietly leaves out any post a moderator took down. A lookup fixes both, and it works with no account.

Here is how to do it, and what you can and cannot pull back.

Skip the endless scroll: look up the username on deletedby.com, open the Posts tab, and search their entire submission history by keyword and date, removed posts included. No login, free.

Why Reddit's profile page falls short

Open any Reddit profile and click the Posts tab. You get submissions in reverse order, newest first, and that is the whole toolset. No search field. No date range. No way to jump to the one post you half remember from two years ago about a car or a job or a recipe. On an account with a few thousand submissions, finding a specific one means scrolling until your thumb gives up.

There is a second gap that matters more for research. That feed only shows what is currently live. If a moderator or a spam filter removed one of the person's posts, it drops out of the profile entirely, even though the account made it. So the list Reddit shows you is not the full post history. It is the surviving part of it.

How to find all posts by a Reddit user in one place

A username lookup on deletedby.com pulls a person's submissions together and gives you the search box Reddit withholds. The steps:

1. Open the home page and type the username, with or without the u/ prefix. A profile link works too.
2. Stay on the Posts tab.
3. Type a word or phrase into the search box. It filters as you type and keeps loading more of the account's history in the background, so the search reaches past the first handful of pages.

No login, nothing tied to your account, free.

Searching a Reddit post history by keyword

The search box matches against each post as it loads: the title, and the body text where the submission had any. So you can look for a product name someone mentioned, a phrase from a rant, the name of a town, whatever you remember. It is a live filter scoped to the single account you looked up. It will not search Reddit at large. That is the point of a per-user post search. You already know whose posts you want, and you want to comb through those and only those.

For an active poster, letting the page load for a moment before you search pays off, since more of the history is in memory to filter against.

Filtering by date and by community

Next to the search box is a date range filter. Narrow a post history search to the last 30 days, 90 days, or a year instead of reading through everything. Handy when you know roughly when something was posted but not the exact words.

Each post also carries the community it came from, and the user's page lists the subreddits they submit to most. That gives you a fast read on where someone spends their time, and lets you pull out, say, every post they made in one particular subreddit by searching its name.

Can you see posts the user deleted or that were removed?

This is where the honest answer splits in two, and the difference decides your odds.

A post tagged [removed] was taken down by a moderator, an automated filter, or Reddit, not by the author. Those can often still be read. The submission was public at some point, so its original title and text show up in the lookup with a clear badge, wherever a copy exists from while it was live. This is the case that works, and it is the reason a lookup beats Reddit's own feed for anyone doing serious research.

A post tagged [deleted] was erased by the author. That text is meant to be gone, so it is labeled rather than shown. You will see that a post existed in that spot, but not what it said. There is no dependable trick to bring back something a person deliberately deleted. If you want the fuller picture of that split, see removed vs deleted, and for the narrow methods that sometimes help with self-deleted content, how to recover a deleted post or comment.

Looking at comments too

Posts are only half of what an account leaves behind. Most people comment far more than they submit, and the same page has a Comments tab that works the same way, with the same keyword and date filters, including comments a moderator removed. If comments are what you are after, how to search Reddit comments by user walks through that side in detail.

What a post search cannot reach

No method covers everything. You generally will not find:

• Submissions from a private, restricted, or banned community that were never public.
• A post deleted within seconds of going up, before any copy of it existed.
• The text of a post the author deliberately erased, beyond the label that marks the spot.

It all comes down to two questions: was the post public at some point, and did a copy exist before it came down. When both are yes, a lookup usually has it. When either is no, it is out of reach for anyone.

The bottom line

Reddit will not let you search one account's post history or show you the submissions that were removed. A username lookup does both. It gathers a person's posts into a single page, lets you filter them by keyword and date, and fills in the removed ones with their original text where a copy exists. Look up a username and try the Posts tab.
