One day, maybe before we might suppose, we’ll be able to ’dibs’ snaps ourselves; to bring them into tribes never originally considered. The set of tribes listed on the right there could, every so often, get surprisingly long — showing to the last vote unanticipated interest and support from wholly-unimagined places.
In my mind's eye, I can see a “Dibs snap” button right about or just below where we see “Edit snap” now. Hitting that would bring up the the same tribe selection dialog box we use for snaps today, or maybe just a dialog box with the set of tribes you’d joined and checkboxes. Whatever the case, it’ll be something to see how a snap finds its own purchase, and grows in ways that might astonish and perplex.
Maybe it turns out that /t/piracy wants to hear about both interpretations of that term. We'll find out one day, because /t/piracy'll show us.
Are you possibly referring to this upcoming feature?
Snap Mirroring
Tribe leadership will gain the ability to mirror snaps directly into their tribe if the tribe was not included in the original post. This will allow new or established tribes to build up their content as well as provide additional engagement to the snaps being mirrored. Functionality protecting snap posters will assure any tribe leadership abusing the snap mirroring feature can banned from mirroring additional snaps. (More details on this will be released as we get closer to its completion)
Could be that the idea for 'snap mirroring' is meant to be a very different thing than when we publish a snap into whatever set of tribes.
Not knowing how much like dibsing a snap that feature's meant to be, nor whether there are hard practical constraints on how many tribes a snap can be published into, I guess I oughta say that's just a way I imagine it might work.
How often, though, do we find ourselves wanting to dibs sumpthin? That graph over there on the right showing where a snap's been published, and how well received it's been in sundry and various tribes — that was where it seemed to me that we'd be astonished at how a snap'd grown, thrived.
Posilutely. Always happy to oblige. Absotively.

Yes. Though, I’d suggest, ‘dibs’ makes better sense.
I personally like the term "dibs". Anyone else think it might work better than "Snap Mirroring" or I guess... Mirror?
