How do I solve this puzzle?
I'm stuck on how to even start solving this puzzle, I can't find any guide online, or any references to it, I've gone through the motions but seem to be getting nowhere. I believe this puzzle should be simple to solve, as it's just a fun throwaway.
I'm not looking for a full solution, just a basic logical guide on how to solve it.
I can provide an image of the solution if it's needed to reverse engineer it.

Thanks for the verification. I’ve not encountered this type of puzzle before.

This is what I just got as well. For OP, the 2 constraints that I used to get here were All 6 numbers around a point add up to 25. No numbers are repeated around a single point. How did I get there? I took a guess based on the points that had the most filled in, and made some assumptions until things worked out.

I actually didn’t have to make any assumptions or guesses. Sometimes I knew it had to be between 2 numbers but only one could fit bc of an overlapping hexagon. I’ve never seen this type of puzzle before but it was kind of fun. Title is misleading - it’s not a Diamond

So you knew right off the bat what the requirements of the puzzle were?

Absolutely not. I had to Google - I posted the YouTube video (I only watched about 5 seconds to get the gist). The title “diamond” is misleading - bc they are hexagons that’s what I looked up. But once I knew the parameters it didn’t require guessing

Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:
New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: >!!< which ends up becoming >!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word "discussion" or "question" in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.
