How to Find Reddit Posts by Username

A simple guide to search and view a user's public Reddit posts.

A Reddit username is enough to look for posts that person made in public communities. You do not need their password, and you do not need to be logged in.

Search on this site

  1. Copy the username, including a u/ prefix, or copy the profile link.
  2. Paste it into the box on the Hidden Post Finder homepage.
  3. Choose Find Posts.

The page checks that the name fits Reddit’s username rules, or pulls the name out of a reddit.com/user/ or reddit.com/u/ link. It then opens a new tab on Google with one query:

site:reddit.com /username/

That query asks Google for public Reddit pages whose address contains that username. The same query is what the Hidden Post Finder Android app builds on a phone.

What the results usually are

You are looking at pages search engines already indexed. Typical results include:

A profile set to hide activity can look empty inside Reddit. The posts themselves can still be on the public web if they were submitted in a public community. Search is a way to find those pages. It is not a private archive, and it will not show chats, modmail, or anything the author never posted publicly.

What a result will not guarantee

Google’s index changes. A post can be missing because it is new, removed, or never crawled. Hidden Post Finder does not fill those gaps from a private database. If Google has no page, the search has no page.

Usernames are 3 to 20 characters and can use letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens. A subreddit link or a post link is rejected, because those are not profile URLs.

Use the app when you search often

The website is a quick check. The Android app is the better place to repeat a search: it keeps a short history and saved usernames on the device, and it opens the same public results. Get it from Google Play. There is no iOS app yet.
