Is there a tool or app that can turn a reddit link into a pdf of all the top comments from a thread (lemmy.world)

Or anything that can scrape the whole thread into some external file or representation? Even json would be fine

Maybe something that caches it or something. Seems to be how videos can be saved, hopefully works for text-based stuff altho their API is probably an obstacle maybe

Have you tried reader mode in your browser?

For example, here’s the steps on a Mac using Safari (but other browsers like Firefox also have a reader view).

  • open Reddit thread in browser
  • sort comments
  • choose view as reader
  • choose file > print
  • click save as PDF

You might get better print results by viewing the page from old.reddit.com instead of Reddit.com.

Faster steps:

Kbd shortcut for Reader mode: cmd-shift-r Kbd shortcut for print: cmd-p

Good tip about the old.reddit tweak, doesnt effect the Reader mode thing tho. Reddit just shows their anti-spam thing
