So this happened to me: I was reading this super juicy thread on Reddit, right? And suddenly—boom—one of the top comments is just gone.

All I saw was:

[deleted]
[removed]

I was like, “Nooo! What did they say?!”

But then I found out… there’s a way to bring deleted posts back from the dead.

Now I’m gonna tell you how I do it, step-by-step. It’s honestly pretty easy, even if you’re not super techy. Let’s get into it.

TL;DR – How I See Deleted Reddit Posts

• Reveddit = for mod-removed stuff.
• Wayback Machine = for older snapshots.
• Google Cache = for a last-ditch try.

Reddit may delete it… but if you’re fast and a little curious? You can probably still read it.

What “Deleted” Actually Means

When something disappears on Reddit, it usually turns into one of these:

What You See	What It Means
[deleted]	The person who posted it deleted it.
[removed]	A moderator or Reddit bot took it down.

So yeah, that comment you really wanted to read? It’s not always gone for good. You just gotta know where to look.

My Favorite Tools to See Deleted Reddit Stuff

Here are the tools I personally use whenever I run into a post or comment that got nuked:

Tool Name	What It Helps Me Do	Link
Reveddit	Shows stuff removed by mods	reveddit.com
Unddit chrome extension	Shows user-deleted comments	unddit
Wayback Machine	Lets me see how a post looked days ago	archive.org
Google Cache	Shows a saved version Google remembers	Search cache:[Reddit URL]

How I Use Reveddit

Why I Use It:

• It helps me see stuff that got removed by moderators or bots—not the person who posted it.

Steps I Take:

1. I copy the Reddit post’s link (the URL).
2. I head over to reveddit.com.
3. I paste the link into the search box and hit Enter.
4. Boom—if mods removed anything, I can usually see it.

[Reddit Post URL] → [Paste in Reveddit] → [See Removed Content]

Updated Tools to See Deleted Reddit Posts (2025 Edition)

Tool Name	What It Helps Me Do	Link	Status
Reveddit	See posts/comments removed by mods or bots	reveddit.com	Still works
Wayback Machine	Check snapshots from before deletion	archive.org	Still works
Google Cache	See recent cached versions of a post	cache:[Reddit URL]	Sometimes works
Pushshift via Reveddit	Reveddit now uses it for some deleted comments	Built into Reveddit search	Limited, but alive
Ceddit	Used to work, but completely broken now	N/A	Gone
Unddit	Doesn’t work anymore due to Reddit’s API change	unddit.com	Dead

Using the Wayback Machine (Yeah, Like Time Travel)

Why I Use It:

• Sometimes I wanna see what a whole Reddit post looked like before stuff got deleted.

Here’s What I Do:

1. I go to archive.org/web.
2. I paste the Reddit post link into the search bar.
3. I look through the calendar and pick a day from before the deletion.
4. I check out the old version of the post.

[Reddit Link] → [archive.org] → [Pick Old Date] → [See Snapshot]

Bonus Trick: Google Cache

Sometimes even Google has a copy of the page saved.

Here’s How I Do It:

1. I go to Google.
2. I type this in the search bar: cache:https://www.reddit.com/r/whatever/comments/abc123/
3. If Google cached the page, it shows the version it saved—even if the Reddit post is gone now.

Doesn’t work all the time, but when it does? Chef’s kiss.

What Tool I Use & When

Here’s how I decide what tool to use depending on the situation:

Situation	Tool I Use
A comment was deleted by the user	Unddit chrome extension
Mods or bots removed a post or comment	Reveddit
I want to see how the page looked before	Wayback Machine
I want Google’s last saved version	Google Cache

So What Replaces old Unddit?

Short answer? Nothing really fills that gap.
But here’s what I do instead of Unddit:

Archive Threads Myself

Whenever I find a Reddit post I think might get deleted (drama, whistleblowing, etc), I just run it through this:

• archive.ph → Saves a full snapshot instantly
• Or use Wayback Machine to save it manually

This way, I don’t have to hope someone else archived it—I’ve got my own backup.

What I Learned From This

So yeah, Reddit deletes stuff all the time. Sometimes it’s just spam or boring. But other times it’s:

• Someone exposing something wild.
• A super helpful tip.
• Or something so real it got shut down.

And hey—I don’t use these tools to stalk people or be a creep. I use them to learn, to see what’s being hidden, or just to not miss out on context.

The internet forgets fast—just make sure you know where to look before it does.

—Sahadat.
