Free Reddit comment history viewer

Search Reddit by user without scrolling a profile. Enter a username and you get that account's recent comments with the subreddit, score, date and the post each one replies to.

Updated

How it works

  1. 1Type a Reddit username, with or without u/, or paste a profile URL.
  2. 2We load the account's public comment history, newest first.
  3. 3You get each comment with its subreddit, score, age and a link.

What you get

  • Comment text
  • Subreddit
  • Score and created date
  • Title of the post it replies to
  • Comment permalink
  • Whether the text is a preview or the full comment

Use cases

  • See which subreddits a person is active in before you reach out to them.
  • Check how a seller or collaborator talks to people before you trust them.
  • Find a comment you wrote a while ago without scrolling your own profile.
  • Review what a brand's official account has said in public replies.

How to do a Reddit search by user

Reddit's search box has no simple "comments by this person" option, and scrolling a busy profile takes a long time. This tool lists one account's comments directly. Type the username and you get the comments newest first, each with:

  • the comment text
  • the subreddit it was posted in
  • its score and how long ago it was written
  • the title of the post it replies to, linked to the thread

The free page shows the 10 most recent comments and cuts each snippet at 280 characters. Sign in to see the full text, sort by top or controversial, and page further back.

To search for a word inside one person's comments, either scan this list or use Reddit Comment Search through the API with the author filter.

What the comment history can and cannot show

The tool returns what Reddit shows publicly for the account, with a few limits:

  • Hidden profiles: Reddit lets people hide their activity from their profile. This tool doesn't get around that setting, so a hidden history may come back empty or partial.
  • Deleted comments have no text left to show.
  • Suspended or banned accounts return nothing. You can check them with the Reddit Account Checker.
  • Previews: if the full text isn't available at that moment, the result is marked as a preview. Try again later for the full comment.

For the person's posts instead of comments, use Reddit Post History. For age and karma, use the Reddit profile viewer.

Pull comment history with the API

GET /v1/reddit/users/{name}/comments returns pages of up to 25 comments with a cursor for the next page. AI agents can call it over MCP as the reddit.user_comments tool. The API reference has the full response shape.

Questions

Can I see comments a user has hidden from their profile?
No. The tool shows what Reddit returns publicly. If someone has hidden their activity, the history may be empty or partial.
How far back does the history go?
The free page shows the 10 most recent comments. Signed-in users and the API can page further back, as far as Reddit returns them.
Why is a comment marked as a preview?
Sometimes only a short preview of the text is available. Run the lookup again later to get the full comment.
Will the user know I looked at their comments?
No. The tool reads public data the way a logged-out visitor would, and Reddit doesn't notify anyone.
Is this tool free?
Yes. Each visitor gets 10 free runs a day, and each run shows the first rows of the result. With a free account you see the full page, and the API has no daily cap beyond your credits and rate limit.
Is this affiliated with Reddit?
No. ChatterAPI is independent and not affiliated with Reddit, Inc. or X Corp.
