        also, a tip: lemmy actually lets you remove the upvote from your own stuff. it counts, unlike reddit, where your own vote doesn’t count, just no votes makes it display 1

          The problem is that the default configuration has you automatically liking your own stuff, so setting it to not do so makes it look like you were downvoted

            doesn’t it show the vote counts individually? maybe reddit brains subconsciously interpret seeing 0 in the context of voting being “this guy got downvoted”

              I don’t know, I use boost and hardly ever use a PC or web interface for Lemmy, and I haven’t noticed

              In my UI (boost default except for fonts and colours) all I see is total votes for comments , and I can click to see up/down counts on posts *turns out I can’t see up and down counts at all in boost

                  I just logged in on Connect for Lemmy and that is the one that shows up and down votes :) I think I had to turn that function on

                  So it’s pretty random whether someone sees just the sum

                  Also aussie.zone doesn’t always seem to fully synchronise with all the instances I visit, sometimes scores don’t load, sometimes votes from some instances don’t show so I often see everything with apparently zero votes

                  *Just twiddled the settings, comment score split is only shown in Connect if you turn on comment debug information, so I presume everyone on Connect is only seeing the sum
