I thought about it and it’ll be helpful a thread going of folks who made a request, and when they got their data. To help give other folks an idea of when they might here back, if they put a request in now.
I put my request in the day before the blackout. Still waiting to hear back from Reddit.
Edit: Just FYI I ended up deleting my account before hearing back on this. If I ever do hear back I will update on here, but at this point I’m seriously doubting that will happen.
Edit2: 2023-07-10 - they got back to me. Since I no longer have a reddit account this was emailed to the email address I registered the account with.

EDIT: (for Firefox) If you can’t remember the date and want to know, you can get it by opening your firefoxes profile directory -> find places.sqlite -> open it with sqlite3 command line or with some gui software and execute this:
SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request%';
EDIT: Added received date
For firefox on windows which sqlite manager extension should I use? The SQLite Manager I found says “This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing.”
I had this picture in my head that sqlite-manager by lazierthanthou was still available, but now looking into it seems like it has been abandoned for quite some time. My bad! But about this “new” add-on i do not know.
For command line use you can use the binaries like @abff08f4813c said, which can be found here or some gui program like for example DB Browser
Submitted mine a couple of days ago, they say it can take up to 30 days and I bet they’ll wait till the last minute before sending it.
Will report back in a month :D
Just got mine today. I’m not sure on the request date - I did it from a comment on here that said we should flood Reddit with GDPR requests. However, I’m going to guess somewhere around the week of the blackout 6/12. Does anyone know if there’s a way to tell what your request date was?

I think it will be useful for deleting my account’s comments since it has all the links to the comments. Also, kinda cathartic having all this archived personally since I will be deleting/altering all my comments soon, then deleting my account.
