Or anything that can scrape the whole thread into some external file or representation? Even json would be fine
Maybe something that caches it or something. Seems to be how videos can be saved, hopefully works for text-based stuff altho their API is probably an obstacle maybe
Hope that is what you are looking for.
Have you tried reader mode in your browser?
For example, here’s the steps on a Mac using Safari (but other browsers like Firefox also have a reader view).
- open Reddit thread in browser
- sort comments
- choose view as reader
- choose file > print
- click save as PDF
You might get better print results by viewing the page from old.reddit.com instead of Reddit.com.
Good tip about the old.reddit tweak, doesnt effect the Reader mode thing tho. Reddit just shows their anti-spam thing
Well, I commented here and linked to a Reddit thread earlier:

Let’s see what happens if we slap a .json extension on it.

That looks kind of like it. I have no idea if it has limitations of one sort or another.
Very freaking cool! What do you think would be the best way to view it or render it to best replicate the format of tapping and collapsing or at least being able to easily puruse all the main parent/top-level comments?
You should probably ask this on Reddit
Why is that, it is a valid question
