Can I directly transfer saved posts between Reddit accounts?

No. Reddit has no migration or transfer feature, and saves cannot be moved between accounts. The working approach is preserving the content: sync and export the old account's library with Readdit Later, then manually re-save the few posts you actively use on the new account.

Will my labels and collections carry over?

Labels are included in your exports, so the organization you built travels with the archive — your CSV has a labels column, and Notion/Markdown exports carry them too.

Can Readdit Later re-save posts to my new account automatically?

No — no tool can bulk re-save posts to a different account. Readdit Later preserves and exports your library; re-saving on the new account is a manual step, which is why we recommend curating only the saves you genuinely use.

What if my old account has more than 1,000 saves?

Reddit's API only lists the most recent 1,000 items, but Readdit Later's saved-page capture reads posts directly from your saved page on reddit.com and can often recover older items. Sync, browse your saved page thoroughly, then export.

The Hard Truth: Reddit Has No Transfer Feature

People switch Reddit accounts all the time — a username you have outgrown, separating professional from personal browsing, a ban, or a privacy reset. Whatever the reason, everyone hits the same wall: there is no way to move your saved posts to another account. No export button, no migration tool, no support ticket that fixes it. Saves are welded to the account that made them. The realistic goal is not to recreate your saved list under the new username — it is to make sure you never lose access to the content, regardless of which account you are logged into. That reframing is what makes the problem solvable.

The Migration Workflow

Sync the Old Account First

Before touching the new account, install Readdit Later from the Chrome Web Store (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jdceogapnjfcfdklbpnllbmnjbfmfejk) and connect your old account. Every saved post and saved comment syncs in with full content. If the account is old, open your saved page on reddit.com too — the saved-page capture can often recover saves beyond the 1,000-item window Reddit's API shows.

Export the Complete Library

Run a full export from the Export panel — CSV or JSON for a structured archive (Pro), plus Markdown or Notion if you have Lifetime and want the library living in your knowledge base. These files are account-independent: they belong to you, not to either Reddit account.

Re-Save Only What Matters on the New Account

Your export contains a working permalink for every post. For the handful of threads you actively reference — the ones you would genuinely miss — open the permalinks while logged into the new account and hit save. Ten minutes of curation beats trying to recreate thousands of saves, most of which you were never going to reopen anyway.

Sort your CSV by score or filter by your labels to surface the saves actually worth carrying forward.

Connect the New Account Going Forward

Once the old account's library is exported, connect your new account in Readdit Later. From day one, everything you save on the new account syncs continuously — labeled, categorized, and protected from the 1,000-item limit from the start. Your old library lives on in your exports; your new one builds itself.

Think Library, Not List

The deeper lesson of account migration is that a saved list trapped in one account is fragile — but a library in open formats survives anything: account switches, bans, deletions, even Reddit itself changing its rules. CSV, JSON, Markdown, HTML, and Notion exports mean your years of curation exist as real files in your own storage. Migrate once with exports and you never have to worry about this problem again.

Switching Because You Were Banned?

If you have lost write access but can still read the account, sync and export immediately — read access is all the backup needs. If the account is fully suspended and unreadable, options shrink fast, which is exactly why power users run scheduled auto-export (daily, weekly, or monthly) so a current backup always exists before anything goes wrong.
