What Does This Mean?
A Reddit tool, and by extension a user or bot, that checks whether an image or link has been posted before. In community talk it names the helper that points out reposted content in a thread.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""A repost sleuth replied under the meme with the link to the original from last spring.""
LORE & ORIGIN
The RepostSleuth website describes itself as a Reddit repost detection tool, but the page opened carries only a title and tagline, so how it works is not documented here. The wider use of "repost sleuth" for any user who spots reposts is not confirmed by a source opened, and no dated first use is documented. This is a thin entry; the existing repost entries cover the surrounding behaviour.
