I wrote a quick manual for some friends trying to leave reddit and get their saved stuff, maybe it'll help someone else as well. Feel free to point out any mistakes, I'm by no means an expert.

Also check out https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than which explains how to get your own posts and comments, and is useful for folks who are waiting in frustrating while their GDPR requests have no responses, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/50981/Reddit-Data-Retrieval-Request-timeline-thread for those of us who are still waiting.

I didn't use save posts so didn't need to save anything, but it's enough to change one line in the textposts.py script from "reddit.user.me().submissions.new(" to "reddit.user.me().saved(" to pull those down.

Alas, if you have more than 1000 of these saved posts, there's no good way aside from the GDPR archive to find them - saved posts are private to a user so pushshift wouldn't have a copy of these.
