Frequently Asked Questions about reddit2md

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a Reddit post to markdown?▼

Run reddit2md followed by the post URL, for example reddit2md <url>. The command prints the post and its comment thread as markdown to stdout, or to a file when you pass the --output option.

How to save a Reddit thread as a markdown file?▼

Use the --output flag with a target filename, such as reddit2md <url> --output thread.md. The converted post and comments are written to that file instead of being printed to the terminal.

Can I change the comment indentation style in the markdown output?▼

Yes, pass --style list to use list-style indentation instead of the default tree style with box-drawing characters. You can also add --space-comments to insert blank lines between top-level comments.

Why do Reddit comments contain unwanted newlines in markdown?▼

Comment text preserves the original line breaks from Reddit by default. Use the --escape-newlines option to strip newlines from comment text so each comment renders as a single block.

What are the limitations of converting Reddit threads to markdown?▼

The conversion depends on the reddit2md CLI being installed and on the Reddit post being publicly accessible. Deleted, private, or quarantined threads may not convert, and very large threads can produce lengthy output.
