I read on reddit that on Lemmy you can see users’ upvote/downvote history. I therefore expected to be able to see upvote/downvote breakdown by user for my own comments. But couldn’t find this. Does this feature exist or is that a myth?

      i don’t think it’s in the api. is in the DB, but not exposed anywhere. one instance admin could do query and see them.

        What are downvotes seen by kbin users on lemmy content? It could just be the kbin instance’s local downvotes of the federated content but I never noticed a lack of down votes on lemmy-hosted content when I was running a personal kbin instance.

          kbin doesn’t federate (in or out) downvotes. To the best of my knowledge lemmy doesn’t either. But, I’m not 100% on that.

              Well an upvote and downvote are counted entirely separate on kbin. There isn’t a deduction. So, you’ll just see the upvote count for federated content and only see the downvotes from local users.

                  Pretty sure. I did some work on the favourites code (normal upvotes) recently and saw downvotes were stored separate (as vote) with no handler. Also someone else made a pull request to handle downvotes. Not implemented as of now.

                  Also the serious lack of downvotes on my instance.

      Ahhh right so the information is there publicly available just not in the existing clients. Interesting.

      Is that info federated or just the count? Might still be trivial to get the info if it’s the former.
