Other users are apparently under the impression that content is OC if it is presented this way without a direct identification of the source. This commenter thought you had made the content in the post, and you could have clarified in a reply and said that somebody else made it. Alternatively, being as clear as possible in the title of a post about who made what is the most direct way to avoid that confusion.
Is there a patent for techniques for Lego? As you said, the Reddit links show the original post, in which the OP actually didn’t even comment on anything, so there isn’t even any proof that this content is theirs. The post is not even tagged as “OC” on Reddit. I didn’t label the post as “OC” on Lemmy either, so I don’t know where the confusion could come from.
What’s the relevance of who discovered the technique? Surely the parts were designed with that geometry in mind. The commenter is asking about the choice of representing the technique by way of bricks made out of bricks.
My attempts at reverse image searches only showed the original Reddit post and your Lemmy post as the only matching results. A good rule of thumb for citations is still noting where you got info from even if you cannot find or identify the primary source.
My point is that even with that indirect link that obscures who the OP is, the audience of the Lemmy post may be prone to assuming that the first person they see posting the content is also the creator of the content unless they see directly stated otherwise.
I just went across that post again, and it seems that this technique has been discovered as long as 14 years ago: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nabii/5276801305/in/dateposted-public/
