Pink Diamond's case is weird. She appeared for the first time multiple times. She was mentioned and pictured as Rose very early on, then we got her voice in Lion 3, as Rose. Then we got Rose flashbacks. Then the legs of her mural, then the first time Pink Diamond's name was said. Then we have Pink Diamond flashbacks. Then, more specifically, the reveal of her face in Jungle Moon and then her "full" reveal in A Single Pale Rose, which was also a flashback. You could technically say she was there since the first episode since Steven's gemstone is part of her body but that's taking it too far I guess. She has yet to appear in present time, which, spoiler alert, won't happen cause she's kinda dead.

You could say any of the instances mentioned above are her first appearance. It's really complicated.
