Reddit Threads

Post body + top 30 comments, ranked by score

Not just the original post — the tool extracts the community response: top-voted comments with nesting depth, so the summary reflects what the community actually thinks.

Works with r/AskReddit, r/programming, r/explainlikeimfive, and any public subreddit.

AskReddit Thread

r/AskReddit · 1.2K comments

How would you feel about the next US president doing X?

Fake it until you break it — why technical management fails

ELI5 Explanation

r/explainlikeimfive · 89 comments

ELI5: How do we actually find a broken undersea cable?

Summary

The best answer explains that engineers measure electrical signal reflection time to pinpoint breaks within meters, then send repair ships with pre-mapped cable routes. Supporting comments add context about cable durability and repair timelines.

This tool handles

  • Public Reddit threads — the original post plus top comments ranked by score
  • Discussion threads, AMA Q&A, technical debates, news comment threads, /r/AskX-style aggregations
  • Subreddit and post title preserved in the summary header
  • Bullet, paragraph, key-takeaways, and TL;DR output formats with strict length caps
  • Distinguishes the OP claim from the consensus-comment counter-claim where present
  • Output language matches the user's interface language

Not in scope

  • Private subreddits and quarantined content — there is no public access to extract from
  • Deleted posts and removed comments — they show as `[deleted]` and contribute nothing
  • Image-only / video-only posts where the title is the entire textual signal
  • Live Chat threads (real-time discussion rooms) — these aren't standard threads

Reddit threads are signal-rich and noise-rich at the same time. The deep-dive below covers what the summariser keeps from the comment section, what it strips, and when a long thread is too sprawling to compress meaningfully.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which Reddit URLs are supported?

Any public reddit.com thread URL in the /r/subreddit/comments/ format. Old Reddit URLs and mobile links also work. Private or quarantined subreddits are not accessible.

Does it include comments or just the post?

Both. The tool extracts the original post body and the top 30 comments ranked by score, including nesting depth so the summary reflects the conversation structure.

How does it handle threads with thousands of comments?

It focuses on the top-scored comments rather than trying to process every reply. This gives you the community consensus without noise from buried or low-quality responses.

Does it give pros and cons?

Yes. For decision and research threads, the summary is structured as the community consensus, the pros and cons people actually raise, and a practical takeaway. It only includes points the thread supports — and adds a link back to the original thread.

What output formats are available?

Bullets, paragraph, key takeaways, and TL;DR. The same four formats available on every summary page.

Is this free to use?

You can try up to 3 summaries on web. One use restores every 4 hours. The Telegram bot offers additional credits and heavier-use paths.
