Where is the My Comments history?

  In an older threat opened by @angelrenoir it was said by a staff member, that getting an overview of your own comments is not available anymore.

  This is wrong. I found my old comments still here:

  https://subscribe.wordpress.com/?email=(email visible only to moderators and staff)&option=comments&pagenum=1

  There are four tabs: “Sites”, “Comments”, “Pendings” and “Settings”.

  “Sites and “Settings” can’t be used anymore, there is a remark to use the Reader, but “Comments” and “Pendings” are still usable.

  P.S.: I wrote this in a new threat because the former threat is closed.

  Hi! Thanks for posting. It’s worth noting that the subscribe.wordpress.com page will show you the comments of yours (and of other people) that you have subscribed to in order to be notified if someone replies.

  By default you’d be subscribed to your own comments of course, but if you had chosen not to do so, then the comment in question would likely not appear there – this means it isn’t an entirely foolproof way to view all comments that you have previously made.

  However, I think you may be interested in the “conversations” section of the WordPress.com Reader, as described here:
  https://wordpress.com/blog/2018/02/02/reader-conversations/

  Which posts will appear in Conversations? Any post you’ve Liked or commented on will show up there. You may also manually add a post by choosing the Follow Conversation option when you view the full post in the Reader…

  Reader Conversations

  It’s not exactly the same as simply a list of your comments, but it gives the greater context of the post/comment you may have either subscribed to or commented on. It’s also mentioned in the thread you linked above, by justjennifer!

  And, as justjennifer also mentioned in the previous thread, it’s still technically available when you go to yoursiteaddress.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-comments

  Yes, I understood your hints, but the reader-conversation is empty in my case. I don’t know why, but that is the reason I use the site I put in my comment.

  justjennifers note to go to yoursiteaddress.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-comments doesn’t work for me because I do not have a site….

  Thanks @fliegerlupo — I can’t seem to see a similar page for people without sites. We’ll note that.

  In the meantime, you are welcome to create a free site, even if you keep it completely private and unlaunched. That should give you access to that page.

  Actually @fliegerlupo – I’m looking into why your comments aren’t showing in Conversations. Would you be willing to create a site, and confirm whether that makes your conversations show up there?

  Site is created under https://wordpress.com/page/fliegerlupo.wordpress.com/2

  In “conversations” is now one comment, but not all as you can see here:
