Have you followed the steps to get Imgur client credentials?

Amitoth commented 1 year ago

I think I do but I'll double check just to be sure. I'll let you know.

Edit: I have the Imgur Client Id and Client Secret both in place. Should I get them again?

MalloyDelacroix commented 1 year ago

It shouldn't be necessary to get new credentials. Can you attach your log file?

Amitoth commented 1 year ago

How do I do that? Apologies as I've never actually exported logs before.

MalloyDelacroix commented 1 year ago

You can click File > Open Data Directory. This will open the folder that contains the log file.

https://pholder.com/ is a site that holds a lot of content removed from Reddit. Urls are: https://pholder.com/r/subreddit https://pholder.com/u/username

Also if you search by username from google/yandex there's bunch of other sites that explicitly save Reddit's NSFW userprofiles posted content.

Perhaps Downloader For Reddit could crawl those sites in addition to Reddit?

Imgur has doesn't allow NSFW anymore and content has been removed. But at least few years ago website dl/crawler apps were able to find and download content removed from Imgur despite Imgur giving 404 to browser apps. Not sure if that's the case still.
