Save Reddit to Obsidian.
Obsidian keeps everything in plain-text files you own, and some people want their Reddit mentions there too. With an automation hop and a small local bridge, subding can append each match to a note in your vault, keyword, quote and link. It suits the researcher who lives in their notes and wants mentions folded into the same knowledge base.

Why route Reddit to Obsidian
Plain text you own
Mentions land as markdown in your vault, so they stay yours, offline and portable, like the rest of your notes.
Linked to your research
Because it is all one vault, a mention can link straight to the note it relates to.
Search across everything
Obsidian search then covers your mentions and your notes together, in one place.
How to connect Reddit to Obsidian
- 1
Choose a target note
Decide which note in your vault should collect mentions, for example a dated Reddit log file.
- 2
Set up a local bridge
Use an automation tool plus a local endpoint (a small script or a community plugin) that can write to your vault files.
- 3
Register the webhook
Point subding at the automation URL so each match reaches the bridge.
- 4
Append and review
Have the bridge append the match as markdown, then read it in Obsidian whenever you sit down with your notes.
What lands in Obsidian
Each entry is markdown carrying the mention and a link back to Reddit. Everything stays local in your vault; nothing about this touches the Reddit thread.
Questions, answered straight
How do I save Reddit mentions in Obsidian?
Because Obsidian stores local files, you route the subding webhook through an automation tool to a small local bridge that appends the match to a note as markdown. It needs a little setup but keeps everything in your vault.
Is this harder than the cloud integrations?
A touch, yes, because Obsidian files live on your machine rather than in an API. If you want the simplest path, Notion or Google Sheets are more direct; Obsidian is for people who want local notes.
Does anything here interact with Reddit?
No. subding reads Reddit and sends you the match; the bridge only writes to your vault. There is no step that posts to Reddit.
Fold Reddit mentions into the notes you already keep for yourself.
Set your keywords once. subding checks Reddit every five minutes and routes each match to Obsidian through your Webhooks.
