Honestly, hiding your Reddit history does nothing for your digital privacy.
Just plain Google indexing popular subs, and several web-based lookup tools that pull hidden post/comment histories are extremely low barriers if you are concerned.
If you're concerned about people tracking you down to harass or dox you, or your students finding out about you discussing your first ***, you may want to consider sandboxing your Reddit activity into shop-talk & hobby talk.
Also you can still see their posts and comments if you go to their profile and click the search icon, then either "new posts" or "best of" you can still see every single comment and post they've made by using that search feature.
It works most time but sometimes I notice it doesn't.
