I spruced up the search capabilities in Tesseract (still limited by what the API allows), but it makes searching your own stuff ( or any user’s really) pretty easy.
There’s a search field in each user’s profile that’ll pre-filter the search to just that user:
https://tesseract.dubvee.org/u/[email protected]
https://tesseract.dubvee.org/search?type=Comments&q= &person_id=27880
Those are from the perspective of my instance (so it’s only showing submissions to communities my instance is subscribed to), but you can log in to your home instance since that’s also my Tesseract demo server.
I am wondering this too. I won’t be able to find this thread again to check the answers, though, since I don’t know how to search my comments.
Ask for downvotes. It’ll be easy to find the comments that have that big ol’ line next to the score.
Wait, this is a lot harder when nobody actually does what you ask.
