Curious if you've thought about this as a browser extension where it injects what you've saved into the main reddit feed. For example, one saved item per refresh. So you naturally rediscover and engage with items you've saved in the past, with a decent algorithm to help prevent any fatigue from seeing the same item too many times.

canada_dry also brought up the idea of a browser extension (for privacy's sake). I think that paired with your idea of inserting saved content into the main feed is very enticing.

I would need to figure out how injection would work for saved comments, do you have any ideas? I'm definitely going to save this idea so thank you!

awesome, not sure how I'd handle comments since this approach would aim to be as seamless as possible. Maybe when they click into the thread you use the UI to remind them of the other saved items they have using the right sidebar for example, but I don't like how it tries to grab attention from the core experience. They could also always click the browser extension similar to Pocket, but I imagine this action would be used less compared to things naturally appearing on the pages that they browse. You'll have to find ways to train the user to use that behavior regularly, perhaps again similar to pocket when they click "save" the browser extension shows a little popover so they see it saved in the extension, can tag it etc., and know their other content/saved comments live there
