My attempts at reverse image searches only showed the original Reddit post and your Lemmy post as the only matching results. A good rule of thumb for citations is still noting where you got info from even if you cannot find or identify the primary source.

My point is that even with that indirect link that obscures who the OP is, the audience of the Lemmy post may be prone to assuming that the first person they see posting the content is also the creator of the content unless they see directly stated otherwise.
