[Feedback] Could we have a "You have posted in this discussion" feature?

Having the ability to see whether we have posted in a discussion when browsing the list of discussions in a sub-forum/community would be really helpful. I don't always remember everything I have posted in. There are a lot of times I will read a discussion, but not have anything to add so I will no post at that time. Then when it resurfaces again I can't remember if I posted or not. I know we are provided a list of updates from discussions we have participated in, but that doesn't really tell me if I posted in a specific topic because maybe no one responded to my posts. Plus sometimes people create discussions/threads that have a nearly identical name to something we did actually post in. Then when we enter we find out it wasn't the same discussion.

This has very possibly been mentioned somewhere but I have been unable to find it, so I apologize if this has already been answered.

Edit: I forgot to put [Idea] instead of [Feedback] but can't change it now. :(

With the way it is right now, I think this is already covered. If someone replies directly to a thread you have created or a comment you made then you receive an Update in your "My Updates" section in the top right. If you have viewed a thread or commented in a thread it will turn black on the feed. It will remain black and next to the "X Comments" it will display "Y new", which means Y comments have been added since you last viewed that thread.

So I guess there is the event in which you viewed a thread, commented, and no one replied to your comment. There is always the search bar on the right side of the page though where you could just search your name and see if you show up in that particular thread.

A suggestion I would have to eliminate this particular situation would be to simply add a "Commented on MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS" next to the title of the thread. That way it'll be both black text and will have a timestamp for when you posted in it even if you didn't get a reply.
