I've always been frustrated that Reddit can't Sort By Oldest, due to API limitations. Like, let's say you want to go back to the very first post in a subreddit, and read forward in sequence. It's a basic concept but still somehow nearly impossible to accomplish. Are "AI" assistants up to the task?
I don't expect a comprehensive list of ALL posts on a popular subreddit, but a sizable smattering of the most popular posts', with URLs, from each month, starting with the oldest month, up to the present day. The particular sub I'm looking at started in April 2019, and I can't seem to find via traditional google search a single post from that month, or the month after that, or after that, etc., which his really frustrating because in my mind it should be so easy.
This you could say has been a "real world problem" for me, as a researcher, for a very long time.
Who wants to try?
