Reddit is one of the most popular social media discussion websites. However, a problem with the platform is that if a Reddit user, admin, or moderator deletes a post or comment, it’s gone. This can mean losing key information, a great recipe, or a hilarious meme.

Luckily, it’s sometimes possible to retrieve and view deleted Reddit posts. Here’s how.

Note: As Reddit continually updates its platform, and because these third-party applications work without Reddit’s permission, they often stop working.

Reveddit

Reveddit is likely the most powerful tool for viewing and tracking deleted content on Reddit. However, it doesn’t show user-deleted content (it only displays moderator-deleted or bot-deleted content).

To use Reveddit:

  1. Launch the Reveddit website.
  2. Type any subreddit, post title, or a Redditor’s username in the search bar and hit go.

  1. Reveddit will display a list of posts that have been deleted, allowing you to navigate the deleted posts much like navigating Reddit normally.

Unddit

Unddit is a third-party tool developed to replace Removeddit and Ceddit when they stopped working.

To use Unddit:

  1. Open the Unddit website.
  2. At the top of the page, save the Unddit link as a bookmark.

Wayback Machine

Wayback Machine is a non-profit website that aims to store archived versions of websites as snapshots of the past . Because of this, it’s possible to access cached web pages from historical time points.

  1. Open the Wayback Machine webpage.
  2. In the search bar, copy and paste the post URL you want to view.

  1. The website will display a calendar interface with blue circles indicating when the Wayback Machine crawled the page. On the original post, note when someone deleted the comment (say, 13 days ago). Then on Wayback Machine, find and hover over that date and select a time point.
