You guys can downvote?
And upvote! I just upvoted your comment. (Memmy on iOS.).
Also I can see your profile has 10 upvotes right now.
I think it's local and depends on the server. I can't see Lemmy downvotes from Kbin, but I can see Kbin's downvotes on Lemmy posts. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it myself.
I think I remember reading some instances just turn off downvoting entirely.
With Jerboa, you can downvote
I have Jerboa on /e/ OS and I can't downvote. But I'm on the reddthat instance (not sure why) so maybe that plays a role too?
OK its more complicated. I can downvote when I view replies in my inbox. But I cant downvote when I view replies in my profile of when browsing posts in channels.
You can, but I don't think downvotes get federated to other instances. So even if you downvote on Jerboa, I can't see it on Kbin. Something about how the Activitypub protocol works.
I downvoted your answer as a test. Can you See it?
Assuming it’s your downvote, I can see one on their post via Memmy. https://i.imgur.com/qRdoY97.png
My Administrator said "As everything else is federated, it would be strange if downvotes are not"
Nope. Got a 0/0.
Edit: gave it another minute to maybe sync, still the same.
Hmmm... strange, so all the people downvoting sit on my Instance...
Yep, that'd be your local squad doing that. All you'll ever get from me is upvotes or nothing.
So many Gollums at my Instance, disgusting. ;)
We just tested; Downvotes ARE federared.
