[Features] Detection of similar articles
I was about to submit a NY Times article that had already been submitted. Luckily I made a search for the word "ship" before to look for any related tribe and I accidentally stumbled upon the snap that had already been posted.
I was wondering if the submission page would not only search for the exact address match, but also search for snaps with some similarities. Something like "this snap might have been posted recently, could you check these following snaps before posting?" This could improve the "related links" links section since it would concentrate people with similar interests into individual snaps and both original snap creator and related link providers might upvote each others content. It would also hopefully diminish the number of reposts.

This is such a great idea! Although it is somewhat common etiquette to search before you post, sometimes we either forgot or there are people new to the community that would never even think to do that. Plus, sometimes I might not search thoroughly enough, because really, that's a boring job in itself.
