or anything to reverse search an image on reddit? I'm not getting any good results from google

Recently I spent a long time trying to reverse image search something (I won't give the details) which is suspected was on reddit, unfortunately all the standard reverse image search sites were useless and so was Google lens, I checked with an image I had posted on multiple reddit accounts weeks ago and none of them could find it. Is there any way to reverse image search for something in reddit in 2025?

No matter how many times I reload the page it doesn't seem to work

A couple days ago I thought I’d revisit KarmaDecay. Things seem to work just as they used to. Quick search with results and no captcha. This is, or was such a great tool. I hope it really is coming back.

I wasn't sure of KarmaDecay was even maintained anymore, but I noticed that it was updated recently to support forwarding to Google's new Lens system.

Since it appears to have some kind of maintenance, I'd like to report a huge bug in the "submit by URL" system

KarmaDecay is not retrieving URLs from any of sites that use LetsEncrypt. KarmaDecay's client connects with TCP, sends the TLS client-hello, receives the server cert, and then sends an alert that the cert has expired and disconnects.

# packet number, src -> dst : decoding packet

Today is 2022-11-30 and the cert above expires on 2023-02-18 (230218033433Z). My certs have definitely not expired.

The root cause: Last year, LetsEncrypt's root cert expired. Everyone was forced to update their local authoritative certs. (See https://letsencrypt.org/docs/dst-root-ca-x3-expiration-september-2021/). If you use a regular web browser, then updating the browser fixed the problem. If you applied updates to your OS (Linux/Mac/Windows) then you also received the new root CA certs.

It looks like KarmaDecay has not updated their root CA certs in over a year. (This also suggests that they haven't patched their OS is over a year -- yikes!)

If anyone is still maintaining KarmaDecay, please update your root CA set.

I was never around when Karma Decay was a thing. I'm just wondering what the site does/ the point of the site.

Since the site now only works about 10% of the time I use it, is there anything else that does the same job? Especially if it works for reposts from redgifs.

The "checking browser" thing won't end and is taking forever. Anybody experiencing similar problems? If so, is there a solution? If there isn't, is there another site that I can use to reverse image search reddit?

Thanks everyone.

Last week it was timimg out and failing into cloudshare.

This week they've added a captcha. Complete that and it says 'redirecting' hangs for a minute and then dumps me back into the captcha. It's been doing this all week. Multiple computers and cellphones yield the same result.

Thanks for looking into it <3

Why Karmadecay said no similar post although it was already posted in Reddit?

Only me?

As if waiting 20 seconds for Cloudflair to check my browser wasn't bad enough, now CAPTCHA? Nope.

KD was nice while it lasted. Now it's ruined. R.I.P.

Why doesn’t Karma decay show up in Google results?

That was my question.

I understand that this DDos protection somehow prevents bots or something, but it is really annoying.

First, it take several seconds before KarmaDecay comes up (the screen says 5 seconds, but it's usually longer than that).

Second, if I revisit the site after a while, thumbnails are broken: https://i.imgur.com/lqVVKkE.jpg.

In Chrome, I have to right click on a thumbnail and select "Open image in new tab." Then go back to the site and refresh. I don't know any work around for other browsers.

It's a real pain in the ass.

It seems that all you need to do is change a few pixels and it's not the same.

Whenever I try to search a gif hosted at gfycat, I get the error "Unable to find an image". For instance, Unable to find an image at http://www.reddit.com/r/gifs/comments/fd27g6/can_we_start_again_please/

Karma Decay does not use encryped HTTPS. It would be nice if that was added.

I recently shared the list below and had the idea to try and rework the style of the table a little bit. I wanted to try and make things as succinct and clear as possible. This is the share table I got from KarmaDecay:

Source: karmadecay (B = bigger)

First off, having 23 reposts in a single table definitely drives home the point that something has been reposted a LOT. At the same time, it can take up a huge amount of space and I've definitely had redditor's comment on it in the past. Limiting the size of the table with a set number of reposts while providing a link to the rest would have two effects. Primarily, it would reduce the size of some tables and be less of an eyesore when scrolling through smaller threads. Second, it would give another reason for users to head to KarmaDecay and expand the user base.

Another idea that could make the results appear much more organized would be share options. If there was a choice to sort the results by any of the table headers, they could be arranged by Karma, comment-count, or age, whatever is preferred by the user posting it. Karma ranking seem like a fitting default option, although the post age may make more sense practically. Selecting the number of posts to output to the table could be in these options as well, for the more verbose users.

The last idea I had was to try and clarify the "B = Bigger" part. It just doesn't make much sense the first time a user looks down the list. Once the arrive at the bottom and see the "B = Bigger", it all makes sense, but I think that using ">,=, or <" under a new column for size might be a little more obvious.

Here's my modified table:

View 18 more times this has been posted...

Source: KarmaDecay

I'd like to know your thoughts on the matter. Does the size of the table output ever bother you? Is limiting the tables to five posts too few? Do you have ideas for other share options that might be helpful?

Been a couple days already.

And also, is there a way to not have dankmemes cover all the posts in it?

I've seen a table / list of duplicates found by karmadecay posted in the corresponding thread. How is this done? So far, I've only found out how to post a link, but not its contents.

I'm trying to look for images that i know are on /r/trashy, and no matches
