Subreddit top posts digest

Top posts are ranked by Reddit's 'top' sort within the time window you pick. That's roughly score (upvotes minus downvotes) with Reddit's freshness and vote-fuzzing applied. It is not the same as 'best' or 'hot'. If you want the buzziest threads right now, use a shorter window like Hour or Day. For long-form classics of a community, use Year or All.

Hour pulls the highest-scoring posts from the last 60 minutes. Day covers the trailing 24 hours, Week the trailing 7 days, Month the trailing 30, Year the trailing 365, and All means top of all time for that subreddit. Reddit applies these windows server-side, so the exact cutoff is whatever Reddit decides at fetch time.

It hits Reddit's public .json endpoint, the same one you can reach by appending .json to any subreddit URL. No Reddit API key, no OAuth, no login. Your browser hits a thin Stashr endpoint that forwards the request to Reddit (the browser can't call Reddit directly because of CORS) and returns the response unchanged.

Private subreddits return 403 and the tool shows a friendly error. Quarantined subreddits often return 403 to unauthenticated clients too. Banned subreddits return 404. There is no logged-in mode on this tool, so anything that needs a Reddit account to view will not load here. If you have a personal use case for a private community, the official Reddit API with OAuth is the path.

Posts marked NSFW (over_18) get a small NSFW pill in the preview so you can spot them at a glance. The post itself is still included in both the preview and the Markdown export. If you do not want NSFW content in your digest, stick to subreddits you know are SFW. The tool does not filter NSFW out automatically.

Yes. Use the Copy button next to the Markdown panel to grab a ready-to-paste version, or save the output to a .md file in Notion, Obsidian, Bear, or a Ghost / Substack draft. The Markdown contains each post's title, author, score, comment count, a truncated self-text preview, and a 'View on Reddit' link, separated by horizontal rules. It is well-suited to weekly reading lists, internal newsletters, research notes, and content roundups.

No. The digest is a top-level overview of titles and metadata, not a full thread reader. If you want to read the post body and the top comments, click the title in the preview or use the Reddit post to Markdown tool for that specific URL. The deliberate scope keeps the digest fast and skimmable.

Reddit's listing endpoint caps a single page at 100 items, so the maximum the dropdown offers is 50 to keep things fast. If you need more, you would need to paginate using the 'after' token, which is not part of this free tool. For most digest use cases (newsletters, weekly reading lists, research summaries) the top 10 to 50 is the useful slice anyway.
