Good to know

  • Each subreddit has its own rules. A post that passes Bulkit's checks can still be removed by the subreddit's moderators.

Comments

You can read the comments on a published post and reply to them. See Read and reply to comments.

  • The newest 100 comments, two levels deep, in one page. There is no nextCursor, and branches Reddit collapses ("more replies") are not loaded.
  • likeCount is the comment's score (upvotes minus downvotes), like the post's own number.
  • Commenters show with their handle, for example u/name.
  • Your own extra blocks (the comments Bulkit posted for you) are not listed.
  • Needs the read and submit scopes. An account connected before read was added shows needs-reconnect. Reconnect it once.

Set up

To connect accounts, you first need your own app on this platform. See the Reddit app setup guide.
