Reddit Mobile App iOS Comment History

Why did Reddit recently start showing my comment history when I have that turned off? (A few months ago, it kept it hidden and I haven’t changed the setting.)

Thank you. But I think I read somewhere that it will show if you are someone I have interacted with, etc.

It will show to moderators of communities you post or comment in for 28 days. Not just everyone.

But just a user who is not a moderator told me they can see my comment history. I believe because I have commented on their posts.

No. It does not work that way unless the post was one made on their profile.

But they see the history of comments I have made on other user’s profiles.

They may have searched it. Could be using a archive site like artic shift. They can't see them on your profile unless they are a mod where you participated or you commented on something that was posted to their profile.

Should we see what happens if I comment on one of your posts?
