STEP 01

The headline numbers

The four cards across the top are just a headcount: total items, posts, comments, and years active. No judgement in them - they're the denominator for everything else.

The one people underestimate is total items. Most Reddit accounts have more than their owner guesses - a decade of one-line comments adds up fast. Reddit only lets any tool reach the most recent 1,000 posts and 1,000 comments, so if your total sits right around 2,000, that's the ceiling, not necessarily your whole history.

STEP 02

Activity span

Oldest post, newest post, years active. This is the "how long have I been here" panel, and it's more useful than it looks: the gap between your oldest item and today is exactly the window an interviewer, a date, or a stranger has to read through.

The older the account, the more of it you've forgotten. That's the whole reason to look.

STEP 03

Karma extremes

Your highest- and lowest-scoring items, with the subreddit each lives in. Both ends are worth a glance for opposite reasons.

  • Highest. High karma means a lot of people saw it - and archives and scrapers are most likely to have kept a copy. Popular isn't the same as safe.
  • Lowest. A deeply negative score means people actively disagreed. Those are the items most likely to be quoted back at you.
STEP 04

Top subreddits

Where your activity actually concentrates, ranked. This panel answers a question you can't answer from memory: which community does your profile most obviously belong to?

If one subreddit holds a large share of everything you've posted, that's a strong signal of who you are and where to find you - useful to know before you decide what to keep public.

STEP 05

The risk flags

Below the stats, the risk analysis groups your history into categories worth a second look. It's deliberately not a single score - a made-up number would just hide the reasoning. Instead you get honest counts:

  • Controversial or downvoted - items people actively disagreed with.
  • Sensitive subreddits - activity that can reveal something personal.
  • High visibility - the high-karma items archives are most likely to hold.
  • Old and forgotten - years-old items you've probably forgotten exist.

Each flag links straight into the filter view, pre-loaded, so "review these" is one click. Nothing is deleted for you - the flags just tell you where to look first.
