How to Find Your Comments on LinkedIn (See Your History)
How to find your comments on LinkedIn: the exact path through your Activity section, how to filter to just comments, and how to track down one specific old reply.
By Animesh Kudake, Co-founder, Apna Project
The short version
- To find your comments on LinkedIn, open your profile, scroll to the Activity section, click Show all activity, then use the Comments filter to see only your comments.
- The same path works from the Me icon: open your profile, go to Activity, and pick the Comments tab.
- LinkedIn shows your comments newest first with no search box, so finding an old one means scrolling; the filter at least removes your posts, likes, and reposts from the list.
- Your comment history is public. Anyone can view a member's Activity and read the comments they left, so treat every comment as part of your visible reputation.
- Reviewing your own comments is the cheapest way to audit your presence: it shows exactly what strangers see when they click your name.
Finding one specific old comment
Filtering helps, but LinkedIn gives you no search box inside your activity, so an older comment can mean a lot of scrolling.
Two shortcuts save time. First, if you remember the post you commented on or who wrote it, go straight to that post or that person's profile and expand its comments instead of scrolling your own history. That is often faster than paging back weeks. Second, sort matters: your comments load newest first, so a comment from months ago sits far down and may take several loads of "see more" to reach.
If a comment simply is not there, it is usually not your fault. Deleted posts take their entire comment threads with them, so if the original author removed their post, your comment is gone too. Comment controls or moderation can also hide a reply, and the platform occasionally trims activity. A missing comment is more often a deleted post than a bug on your end.
What LinkedIn does not let you do
Setting expectations here saves frustration.
- No private comments. There is no setting that makes your comments visible only to you. Public activity is public.
- No search within activity. You cannot type a keyword to jump to a comment. You filter and scroll.
- No bulk download of just comments. The full data archive includes activity, but there is no clean "export my comments" button.
- No editing history. You see the current version of a comment, not its earlier drafts.
None of this is a dealbreaker, but knowing the limits means you stop hunting for buttons that were never there.
Why review your own comments at all
Here is the part that matters more than the mechanics, and the reason we care about it.
We build a LinkedIn commenting tool, so we spend our days looking at how comments shape reputation, and the pattern is consistent: for most people, comments are seen far more often than their posts. You comment on ten posts for every one you publish, and every one of those comments is a small, public sample of how you think. Your Activity page is the exact audition reel a stranger watches when they click your name.
Reading it back with fresh eyes is the cheapest audit you can run. Do the comments sound like a person or like filler? Do they add something the post did not already say? A comment that earns a reply tends to earn attention, which is the same reason we care about whether a comment holds a reader long enough to matter, the idea behind dwell time. And it is why, when we designed our own tool, we built an approve step rather than firing off replies unseen: a comment you would not want on this public page is not worth posting. If you want the practical version of what a good comment looks like, start with how to comment on LinkedIn posts.
The short version
Open your profile, scroll to Activity, click Show all activity, and choose the Comments filter. That is where every comment you have left lives, newest first, reachable in three clicks from either your profile or the Me icon. There is no search box, so hunt old comments by going to the original post instead of scrolling forever. And since the whole list is public, read it now and then the way a stranger would, because your comments are doing more to shape your reputation than you probably realize.
Frequently asked questions
How do I see all my comments on LinkedIn?
Open your profile, scroll to the Activity section, and click Show all activity. On the activity page, choose the Comments filter or tab. LinkedIn then lists only the comments you have left, most recent first. The same view is reachable from the Me icon by opening your profile and going to Activity.
Can other people see my LinkedIn comments?
Yes. Your comments are public activity. Anyone can visit your profile, open your Activity section, and read the comments you have posted, including on other people's posts. There is no private-comment setting, so assume every comment is visible and searchable as part of your reputation.
How do I find one specific old comment?
LinkedIn has no search box inside your activity, so you filter to Comments and scroll back through them in reverse chronological order. If you remember the original post or its author, going to that post directly and expanding the comments is often faster than scrolling your whole history.
Why can't I find a comment I know I left?
There are a few common reasons. The post or the whole account may have been deleted, the author may have removed your comment, or comment controls may have hidden it. Deleted posts take their comment threads with them, so a comment can vanish even though you never touched it.

You left a sharp comment on someone's post last week, and now you cannot find it. Or you want to see everything you have said lately, because your comments are quietly becoming the first thing people read about you. Either way, the question is the same: how to find your comments on LinkedIn without scrolling forever.
The path exists, it just is not where most people look. LinkedIn tucks your comment history inside your Activity section rather than giving it a dedicated page. Once you know the route, it takes about three clicks.
Here is exactly where to go, how to filter down to only your comments, and what to do when the one you are hunting for refuses to show up.
The fast path: your Activity section
Your comments live in the same place as everything else you do on LinkedIn: your Activity.
On desktop or mobile, open your own profile and scroll down to the Activity section, which sits below your About. Click Show all activity (on mobile it may read as your activity link). That opens a page with tabs across the top: Posts, Comments, Reactions, and more.
You can reach the same page from the Me icon in the top navigation. Click it, open View Profile, and scroll to Activity. Both routes land in the identical view, so use whichever is closer to where you already are.
That is the whole trick. Your comments were never hidden, they were just filed under Activity instead of under a menu item that says "my comments."
Filter to just your comments
The activity page mixes everything together by default, so the next step is narrowing it down.
Click the Comments tab or filter at the top of the activity page. LinkedIn strips out your posts, likes, and reposts and shows only the comments you have left, newest first. Each entry usually shows the original post above your reply, so you have the context without opening anything.
From here you can click through to the original post, edit or delete a comment if you still want it live, or simply read back through your recent tone. There is no bulk export and no date jump, so this filtered, reverse-chronological list is the cleanest view LinkedIn offers.
One thing worth sitting with: this exact view is public. Anyone can open your Activity and read your comments the same way you are reading them now, which is why we treat comments as a real part of your presence rather than throwaway replies. Our take on that lives in our LinkedIn commenting strategy.
