Add a Reddit thread to NotebookLM
Short answer
To use a Reddit discussion as a source, open the thread and click the NotebookLM Ultra Exporter icon. Quick capture recognises the thread, extracts the post and the comments that have loaded, and adds them to the notebook you pick. It is free, within 20 imports per day.

| Where | Extension popup or side panel on the thread page |
| Plan | Free |
| Allowance | Free: 20 successful source imports per local day, up to 5 per batch. Pro removes both limits. |

Steps
- Install NotebookLM Ultra Exporter in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
- Open the Reddit thread and expand the comment branches you want.
- Click the extension icon and choose to capture the page.
- Check the preview, pick the target notebook and confirm.
Limits to know
- Only loaded comments are captured. Collapsed and not-yet-loaded replies are missing unless you expand them first.
- Capturing every comment of a very long thread automatically is not promised.
- Google's own limits still apply: sources per notebook, file size and accepted file types are decided by NotebookLM, and Pro does not raise them.
Free or Pro?
Free, with no daily export quota and no website account needed. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free to add a Reddit thread to NotebookLM?
Yes. It is a basic import method. Free allows 20 successful source imports per local day and 5 items per batch; Pro removes both limits.
Why are some comments missing?
Reddit loads comments as you scroll and collapses long branches. Expand what you need before capturing and check the preview.
Does importing count toward the NotebookLM source limit?
Yes. Every imported item becomes a source in the notebook and counts toward its source limit, which depends on your Google plan. To free up slots, see merge sources into one.
