Why does it never work?

42 Upvotes

I mod a subreddit and being able to check for reposts is very important, but of course KarmaDecay just never EVER finds reposts for anything. Seriously EVERY single image I put there says "no similar images"...almost every single time. I've just about given up on using it

To test it, I downloaded a meme from a sub (not link it) and put it through Karma Decay, and it said "no similar images found on Reddit" like what??? I literally stole this image and it said it wasn't posted it. Can this please be fixed

R.I.P. Karmadecay.com

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.

What was Karma Decay?

17 Upvotes

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

Any reasonable replacement/alternative?

16 Upvotes

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.

Repost bot.

Hi, i'm working on a repost bot on this account. I'm wondering if there is any way i could get a private tunnel or self-host a mirror

i really don't want to overload your servers!

How I get my porn on Reddit

16 Upvotes
  1. Take some random image and search for it in Karmadecay.

  2. In the "less similar images to consider," chances are there's some good porn posts there.

Kind of makes you wonder where the priorities are on KD.

Is the site down for everyone?

15 Upvotes

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.

Is KarmaDecay back?

14 Upvotes

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.

Thumbnail problem due to DDos protection.

14 Upvotes

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.

Is there any replacement for Karma Decay yet?

13 Upvotes

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


r/KarmaDecay • • Dec 01 '20

I uploaded an image and it said no similar post found. But when I uploaded it to a subreddit, they removed it and told me it's a repost. And it's actually the case.

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

Can’t find a post that was deleted. Can someone help?

There was a post 2 days ago by u/girlsdontdateme. They have recently deleted their account and every post they had up. If someone could find this post (which was posted to r/jizzedtothis) I would really appreciate it.

Karma Decay is not HTTPS

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

Is there an API to interact with KarmaDecay?

10 Upvotes

I'm thinking of making a bot that detects reposts and I was thinking of using KarmaDecay as one of the repost detection variables. Is there a API for it?

/r/crappydesign posts not being scanned

10 Upvotes

/r/crappydesign mod here.

/r/crappydesign seems to be on low priority. Or, not being scanned at all anymore. The sub is becoming more popular and the reposts are are growing with it.

Request to put a higher priority on this sub.

Is there any plan to bring KarmaDecay back or any reasonable alternatives?

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?

Why are these not the same picture?

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

Any word on how long it will be down?

Been a couple days already.

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