The last few years I've been wanting to export the list of subreddits I joined.
It's fun to share with friends having a similar interest,
as I've collected many gems throughout the years.
To achieve this I've set-up a simple script.
It exports your subreddits to a plain text list.
<!-- more -->
## How to export
1. Visit [reddit.com/subreddits/mine][list] in a desktop browser,
make sure you're logged in.
2. On that page, [open][developer-tools] your browser developer tools (Keybind: _Ctrl+Shift+I_).
3. In the developer tools panel, open the **Console** tab.
4. Copy-and-paste the following snippet into the console, press _Enter_ to run it:
```javascript
$('body').replaceWith('<body>'+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).text()).get().join("<br>")+'</body>');javascript.void()
```
5. Your full list of subreddits will appear on the webpage.
[Here][mine] is mine.
<br>
<details>
<summary>Tap here if you're a nerd.</summary>
## For nerds
Here is the above snippet, expanded:
```javascript
// Pluck list of subreddits from page, build plain text list
var subs = $('.subscription-box')
.find('li')
.find('a.title')
.map((_, d) => $(d).text())
.get()
.join("<br>");
// Put list of subreddits on page
$('body').replaceWith('<body>' + subs +'</body>');
javascript.void()
```
Your complete list of subreddits is located in the sidebar on [that][list] page.
The script plucks the list of reddits from the list and puts it in an array.
Then the array is imploded in a string to show on the page.
Super simple.
