Get a list of your subreddits

To obtain a list of your subreddits, do the following:

  • First make sure you're logged in on reddit, on a desktop browser.

  • Then visit reddit.com/subreddits.

  • Then put the following snippet in your browsers address bar, and press Enter.
    Make sure javascript: is included at the beginning, your browser might remove it while copy-pasting for security reasons:

    javascript:$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).text()).get().join("<br>")+'</body>');javascript.void()
  • The reddit page is replaced with a list of all the subreddits you're subscribed to.

For nerds

Here is the expanded snippet:

// Build a list of subreddits with break lines between them
var subs = $('.subscription-box')
    .find('li')
    .find('a.title')
    .map((_, d) => $(d).text())
    .get()
    .join("<br>"));

// Replace the page with a list of subreddits
$('body').replaceWith('<body>' + subs +'</body>');

javascript.void()

It finds all items from the subreddit list in the sidebar on the page, and builds an array of subreddit names from it. The array is concatinated with breaklines. The page is then replaced with this list.

But these aren't selectable links. I guess no one ever thought of putting it in, say, my account profile? Something like "My subreddits", you know?

@k9gardner if you want a selectable list of links just change it to this:

javascript:$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => "<a href='https://www.reddit.com/r/" + $(d).text() + "'>" + $(d).text()).get().join("</a><br>")+'</body>');javascript.void()

Is it possible to find the date you joined a subreddit?

I don't think this works anymore. I tried it with two users/accounts and neither works. One account with 18 subs and another with 70+.

It needs to be done in the browser dev tools on https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/mine

If anyone just wants a list of links, this should work

javascript:$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => "https://www.reddit.com/r/" + $(d).text()).get().join("<br>")+'</body>');javascript.void()

You guys don't give the correct URL for followed user accounts!

  1. Go to https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/mine
  2. Open Web developers tools / javascript console
  3. Execute following code:

a) select ALL subreddits

javascript:$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).attr('href').replace('old.','')).get().join("<br>")+'</body>');javascript.void()

b) select ONLY NSFW subreddits

javascript:$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').has('span.sr-type-icon-nsfw').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).attr('href').replace('old.','')).get().join("<br>")+'</body>');javascript.void()

c) select WITHOUT NSFW subreddits

javascript:$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').not(':has(span.sr-type-icon-nsfw)').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).attr('href').replace('old.','')).get().join("<br>")+'</body>');javascript.void()

If you want the old.reddit-Links, you can remove the .replace('old.','') parts.
