Is there a way to view messages you've sent? (lemmy.ml)

From what I can tell, the only way is to scroll back through the channel and locate each message you've sent individually. That's a pain in the ass. Is there a way to find them in one place?

I assume that by "channel" you mean "group"

On any platform, you can use the lens icon to search for messages. Once you tap/click on it, an user silhouette ๐Ÿ‘ค icon will appear. It allows to filter messages from a specific user, yourself included

If by "channel" you mean "channel", then there's no way to know which of the posts in the channel were sent by yourself, since they all appear as they were sent by the channel

If you want to see a list of all messages you've sent across all chats, then there's no way to do that unless you script something using the users API

Bummer. At least I know. Cheers.
