Can People See What You Save on Reddit?
Short answer: no. Your saved posts and comments are completely private. Here's the full breakdown of Reddit's privacy model for saves, and what to watch out for.
How it works
Install the extension
Add Readdit Later to Chrome, Brave, Edge, or Arc from the Chrome Web Store. Takes under a minute.
Your saves sync automatically
Every post and comment you have saved on Reddit is imported and kept in sync - no manual work.
Organize, search, and export
Label, filter, search with AI, export to Notion, and let the agent surface what matters.
No, your Reddit saved posts are private. No other user, moderator, or admin can see what you've saved. Your saved list is visible only to you when you're logged into your own account. This has been the case since Reddit introduced the save feature, and there's no setting that exposes it.
This is one of the most common questions new Reddit users ask, especially after saving something they wouldn't want publicly associated with their profile. The confusion often comes from the fact that Reddit does show some activity publicly — your posts, comments, and sometimes your upvote history — but saves are in a different category entirely.
Here's a complete breakdown of what's visible, what's private, and how to make sure your saved library stays secure even if something happens to your Reddit account.
What IS visible on your Reddit profile: your posts, your comments, your awards given, and communities you're active in. What is NOT visible: your saved posts, your saved comments, your upvote/downvote history (unless you manually enable it in settings), and your hidden posts.
What you get
Saves are 100% private
No other Reddit user can see your saved list. Not moderators, not admins, not other users. Your saves are visible only when logged into your account.
Upvotes can be public (but aren't by default)
Reddit has a setting to make your upvoted/downvoted posts visible on your profile. It's off by default. Saves have no equivalent toggle — they're always private.
Third-party apps can't see others' saves
Reddit's API only allows apps to access your own saved posts with your permission. No app or script can pull another user's saved list.
Deleted posts disappear from your saves
If a post's author deletes it, it vanishes from your saved list too. The content is gone unless you backed it up with a tool like Readdit Later before deletion.
Account suspension doesn't expose saves
If your Reddit account is suspended or banned, your saved list is not made public. It simply becomes inaccessible until the suspension is lifted.
Back up your private saves
While saves are private on Reddit, they're also fragile — subject to the 1,000-item cap, post deletions, and account issues. Readdit Later syncs saves into a private, independent library you control.
The problem. The fix.
