suggestion

Having been here for a long time I find that I forget what posts I have responded to.   So at the top of a post can we get a symbol that says the post has been responded to.  Maybe with a number following showing the number of responses if it is greater than 1.  Also if the symbol clicked on takes me to my first response in that post.  Having been here 12+ years it is very easy to forget.

I don’t think it is possible to tell. A thread is a chronological list of posts. Do you mean whether you responded to a thread?

You might be able to engine-search something like “(thread name) AND (your name) site:permies.com”

Or ctrl+F or whatever you use—on the thread, or on your own post list.

Have you looked at the pie features for tracking posts?  Not exactly the same, but might do some of what you need.

I sometimes use my browser "search in page" to find my name/post in a thread.

The whether I responded on a particular thread.

It might take a bit of extra coding.  When a post is opened if it took my login info and simply searched the whole post thread for my name and put a check or an asterisk at in the main header to indicate I had posted on that thread and should look closer.  Searching small lists is something the computer does really well and even the big posts like the main hugelkulture thread is still a small list for a computer to search.  Then worst case it would be on me to search stuff.  But it would be nice to know I needed to search.  I probably look at 3 to 10 new threads each time I visit.  Doing a search on everyone would reduce the number I could look at

For example I hit the degrowth post from a year ago, a few days ago.  I was scrolling down to respond when I found my response on the thread.  Interestingly my post from a year ago and what I intended to write would have been nearly identical.  The link to the particular website is in my main computer book marks because I use it a few times a year so pulling it out would have been easy.  Now there were 2 comments would have added.  One was a response to someones question who posted after me and one I didn't bother to find and was a discussion of how and why population growth is happening.(it isn't what most people think)  I may still get the second one posted but I didn't find it in a quick youtube search and I lost its bookmark in a computer crash a year ago.

I feel if what you are asking for would ever happen that it would be a PIE feature like the green line and other PIE features.
