First posts on Reddit

Man, it’s been forever since this Reddit community first started up... I'd love to dig back through the very first posts and threads. Anyone know how to find them?
Thanks!

It looks like it's only displaying the last 300 posts. Is there any way to see the ones we have 😁
?
The most recent post I can actually see is from April 3rd. 🤣

You just scroll through a specific PDF by page number. 🤷

He wasn't talking about his own stuff, but rather the old archives from the entire Reddit site in general. At least, that's how I took it. 😁

The very last post showing up for me is from April 3rd. 🤣

Yeah, the search function caps out at 300 results; you can't go past that. Your only option is to dig through individual subreddits, but if there are also more than 300 posts in that specific section, you're stuck again...

I actually managed to track down the answer—specifically, a clear explanation provided by a moderator.

Right, now that I've read it a second time, I see what you mean. 🤣

How can we even claim our civilization is bad or evil—when we're the only ones around to judge it???

Man, I found this gem from back when I actually thought the monitor was the processor... haha!🙂

How can we even claim our civilization is bad or evil if it’s the only one we actually know about?

Found this from back when I genuinely thought the monitor was the processor.🙂

And here I was, way too busy celebrating my twelfth birthday to care.
🤣

If anyone is seriously bored out of their mind 😁 — just hit every single subreddit and click through to the last page. Personally, I only bothered scrolling through the natural science section. I figured that should be one of the oldest corners of the site, and sure enough, I found posts dating all the way back to December 2002.
EDIT: Yeah, I'm pretty certain December 3rd, 2002, is the earliest date we have on record here. Nice job. 🙂

And then people have the nerve to say December 3rd doesn't matter. ☕
😛

So, here’s the oldest 😉

Threads 1 and 2 were wiped out... probably just some system testing, I guess.

@Elon Musk: I personally made it up to 2 before deciding to just call it quits 😁
