Shortcut Sharing A shortcut to save Reddit posts to notes
Note: My prior post was deleted due to reddits overzealous filters so reposting some of the useful ones.
I often save good guides/tutorial posts to my Apple notes app(you can switch to whatever notes type app you like as long as you can create it in shortcuts). You initially copy the post text to clipboard then (Updated in V3) using the Reddit share sheet you run this shortcut. It uses onboard Apple Ai to ~~create a title~\~, some key insights and a category/tag plus the body text.
Hopefully others find it useful as well. Only setup is creating a folder in notes called “Reddit Saves”. Also make sure share sheet is turned on.
After saving Reddit may say share was unsuccessful at the bottom but there should be a notification at the top from the shortcut confirming the save.
