Question about the site - can I post other people's observations?

Couldn’t find it on the community guidelines page so I’m asking it here. Is this site exclusively for original observations you’ve made yourself, or you allowed to, let’s say, see an observation someone else has made and posted to reddit, and make an entry here about that?

welcome to the forum

the site is for observations you make yourself

You may want to check out iNat Help which has a lot of info beyond what is included in the community guidelines.

What kind of photos or sounds should I attach to observations?:

Photos or sounds attached to observations should include evidence of the actual organism at the time of the observation, observed by the user who is uploading the observation. Media used in your iNaturalist observations should represent your own experiences.

iNat is only for your own observations. If you post a photo from Reddit, chances are someone will mark it as copyrighted and it will be removed.
