How to See Deleted Reddit Comments
To see deleted Reddit comments, you can use archive tools that capture Reddit content before it gets removed. While deleted comments show as [deleted] or [removed] on Reddit, the original text is often still available in public archives.
Method 1: Search by Thread URL
The most reliable method: paste the Reddit thread URL into our search tool. Archives capture the full comment tree — including comments that were later deleted. We query PullPush and Wayback Machine simultaneously for the best results.
Method 2: Search by Username
Enter a Reddit username to find that user's archived comments across all threads. This works even if the user has since deleted their account, as long as archives captured their comments before deletion.
What you can recover
- Comment text (body content) from deleted and removed comments
- Author username (if captured before account deletion)
- Timestamps, scores, and reply chain structure
- Parent post context for each comment
