The whole reddit (posts and comments separately) from 2005-06 until 2022-12 is on this [1] torrent link, it's very easy to download, extract and use the data [2]. I'm writing my thesis about the connection between the reddit post's type and the comment structure, and I've been working with this data, for a few months, it's amazing.

That's really cool! But a lot happened on Reddit between 2012 and 2023. I think the idea of using old content to bootstrap a new community site won't be feasible unless more recent content can be included. (I also imagine something like >95% of all Reddit content was produced in-between 2012 and 2023.)

  It's from 2005 to 2022, so only this year is missing.
