I can see downvotes on comments, but on posts there’s only a total score. Can you please make the UI consistent by either giving posts both up and down votes visibility, which would be my preferred course of action, or make comments have only a total value shown like posts? It’s a pet peeve of mine, I mainly just want to see post downvotes. I don’t use any apps, just a raw (no plugins or else) desktop experience.
You can hover the vote counter with your mouse cursor and a tooltip appears showing you the numbers for upvotes and downvotes.
Ohh, thank you so much!
it’s a problem inherit with federation:
- Lemmy allows upvotes and downvotes
- allowing downvotes is instance dependent
- visibility of totals/upvotes/downvotes is theme dependent
Are you refering to the standard web interface? If there is one downvote it will say 1 next to the downvote button. If there are 0 downvotes then it won’t say anything next to the downvote button.
This is assuming you’re on an instance that enables downvotes.
