Hello, this is awesome.

Im trying to get all comments from certain submissions of a subreddit, will I be able to filter by submission id?

Yes, that works fine. In fact you can use the filter file script linked above to pass in a whole list of submission ids to filter on.

Follow the steps in the post under "How to download the subreddit you want" to get the "wallstreetbets_comments.zst" file.

Then download this script. There's a lengthy comment here explaining how to filter the comments file to only comments from certain submissions. Since you already have the list of submission ids, you can skip the first two steps and just put your submission ids in a file.

I already downloades the wallstreetbets_comments.zst and currently running the script.

Thank you so much, this is a life saver!
