I am posting images daily to some communities. With the months I’m loosing track of what was already posted by me and others.
So does someone know a service (preferably a website) where I can input a image or link and see in which communities and when it was posted?
Edit: Well, I should have clarified from the beginning my intention behind this question.
I was thinking about creating such a service. So I wanted to know if similar already exists (and so save me the effort of development). Also I wanted to sample from the comments if there is interest in such a tool.
Current result: there is no such service but reposts are not really to worry much about.
There is few content on fediverse comparing to other social media so any content (idc if it is new or repost) is good.
And like others already mentioned: There are also gatekeepers.
This was already asked last week.
Don’t worry, someone will let you know with a deeply snarky comment.
I understand what they are trying to do, but they have to understand how lemmy works. Same goes for the communities.
There are numerous self-appointed gatekeepers for numerous peeves.
For URLs just put the URL into the lemmy search and it will find any posts with it.
For images there isnt really anything because it would require hashing all images uploaded to all instances and then allow people to search through them which is computationally expensive. Basically you want reverse image search like tineye.com but only for lemmy.
For a link, you’ll see it after posting if it appears in the list of places the link has been crossposted to, at which point you can delete it.
An image, that is more technically challenging because it requires detecting whether two images are the same, which is not as trivial as it sounds. But for images, I think reposts are no big deal anyway, many people will not have seen it the first time.
Yeah, there’s a perfect tool for this. It’s called StopGivingaShit.
This comic has always resonated with me. THIS is how we incorrigible know-it-alls of the world can use our powers for good, or at least for not actively evil, LOL.

A search engine?
Searchengines don’t index all (of what I need) of the Fediverse and also the UI is not made to see when and where it was posted.
Reddit had a tool for that because search engines weren’t useful.
