It’s “mostly whatever saucenao finds” but I’ve also written some custom parts using pixiv’s and danbooru’s APIs regarding finding a good artist name, as well as some stuff to translate/romanize artist names.
I plan to add the ability for it to find “uncropped” versions of an image, likely by interacting with google images, as saucenao tends to not get matches if an image has been cropped.
This does mean that Soutaku inherits saucenaos ability to recognize manga pages (though mangadex or other manga sites wont get parsed into the response atm). Art and promo content that originates on twitter should work.
Currently it will link ArtStation, DeviantArt, Pixiv, Twitter, and Danbooru, if it finds them.
Adding some functionality for detecting mentions of series and providing MAL/Anilist/AniDB/Kitsu links would be cool.

I just tried out saucenao for a handful of visual posts from both communities and nothing was found. Do you have code published anywhere? I would need to figure out how to interface with lemmy to listen in on comments before I could make a links bot. I am not a dev by trade, so I usually heavily rely on existing code as a starting point.

My github is here: github.com/CTalvio
But I’ve published nothing of my dabbling in lemmy stuff yet, as I’ve been re-learning python as I go in order to get into it. Looking into it, trace.moe or whatanime.org might be better suited.
To interact with Lemmy, I’m using this: github.com/db0/pythorhead

Ok, that is what I am using as well for creating posts. Thanks for the hard work!
