How to find your saved posts on Reddit (app and desktop)
Reddit publishes no save limit, yet your list ends around 1,000 with no warning. Where your saves are, on desktop or app, and what to do when they vanish.
Your Reddit saves are on your profile's Saved tab. The trouble starts when the
one you want sits past entry 1,000, reads [removed], or isn't showing at all.
How to see your saved posts on Reddit
- Desktop: Click your avatar, open your profile, and click the Saved
tab. You can also go straight to
reddit.com/user/me/savedwhile logged in. - iOS or Android app: Tap your avatar to open your profile, tap the three-line menu near the top right, then tap Saved.
To save something in the first place, open the "..." overflow menu on a post or comment and choose Save. Tap the same option again to unsave it.
Saved comments live in the same place as saved posts. If you only see posts, look for a Comments tab or filter on the Saved page. Reddit moves these labels between versions, so yours may look a little different.
Is there a limit on Reddit saved posts?
Reddit doesn't publish one, and a save past the 1,000 mark still goes through. The limit people run into is on the list, not the button: most Reddit listings return a maximum of 1,000 items, and your Saved page is one of those listings. Scroll far enough and it simply ends, with no warning.
Older saves are reported to still exist on Reddit's side, just out of the list's reach. Users also report older items resurfacing as they unsave newer ones, though Reddit doesn't document that. The route to those buried saves is the data request, covered in how to export your Reddit saved posts.
Why your Reddit saved posts are gone or not showing
Work through these in order:
- It reads
[deleted]. The author deleted the post or comment, or their account. - It reads
[removed]. A moderator or Reddit admin took it down. Your save only points at the original, so the body is gone for you too. - The list ends before you reach it. You've likely hit the listing cap above.
- The thread won't open. A subreddit that went private or was banned takes its posts with it, saved or not.
- Everything vanished at once. Check that you're on the right account, then try the website if you're in the app (or the reverse). Reddit has had bugs here: a thread on r/bugs in August 2024 tracked saved posts vanishing while saved comments stayed. If the website shows your saves and the app doesn't, the problem is the app, not your list.
How to search your Reddit saved posts
Reddit's main search bar searches Reddit, and its help pages on saving don't describe any way to search only your saves. Three workarounds, from cheapest to most effort:
- Find on page. Scroll your Saved tab to load more entries, then use your browser's find (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F). It only matches titles and text on screen.
- Search the export. Each permalink in Reddit's export usually includes the subreddit and a slug of the title, so a text editor can find "sourdough" in it.
- Use a separate library. Tools that keep a copy of your saves can search them, which is what the last section covers. Some also connect to ChatGPT or Claude, so an assistant can search them for you.
How to organize Reddit saved posts
The current site and apps give you no folders or tags for saves, only a split between posts and comments. Long-time users remember a saved-categories perk on old Reddit tied to Premium. We couldn't confirm it still works, so don't plan around it.
That gap is why third-party Reddit saved post managers exist. Before you connect one, check two things: whether it keeps a copy of each post or only links, and whether it reads the same listing, in which case it stops around 1,000 too.
How to export your Reddit saves
Reddit's data request at reddit.com/settings/data-request gets you
saved_posts.csv and saved_comments.csv, and Reddit says it can take up to 30 days.
The export guide walks through the request, what's
in the file, and whether it reaches past the cap.
How to keep your Reddit saves
Every option above still leaves you with pointers. To keep the content, something has to copy it while the post is alive.
That's what Stashr for Reddit does. Its browser extension watches Reddit's own Save action on reddit.com and copies the post or comment into a private library: the text, images and galleries, author, and subreddit. For video posts it keeps the poster image, and the video plays from Reddit. After that, a removal on Reddit doesn't touch your copy, and you can search by what you remember:
Two limits to know. Stashr's import can only reach what Reddit's listing exposes, roughly your latest 1,000 saves, and the extension runs on desktop browsers, so saves you make in the phone app or on old Reddit come in with your next import rather than right away.
Common questions
Why are my saved comments not showing on Reddit?
Check for a Comments tab or filter on the Saved page, since comments can be separated
from posts. If the comment still isn't there, it may be past the 1,000-item listing
cap, or it may now read [deleted] or [removed].
How do I delete all my saved posts on Reddit?
Reddit has no "unsave all" button that we could find in its help pages, so you unsave one at a time from the "..." menu. Third-party scripts can do it in bulk through Reddit's API, but they need your account access, so read the code first. Export first if you want a record: once you unsave, the item leaves your list. If you use Stashr, unsaving on reddit.com in that browser removes the item from your library too. Clearing other apps as well? See how to delete all your saved posts at once.
Can other people see what I've saved on Reddit?
Not as far as we can tell. Reddit's help doesn't say so directly, but the Saved tab only appears when you view your own profile. Here's how that compares on other apps.
Keep the Reddit saves you can't afford to lose.
Stashr copies each post or comment when you save it on reddit.com in a desktop browser, so the text and images stay searchable after a [removed]. 14-day trial, no card required.
