Will it be possible to see comment and post downvotes on the app? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So far, it seems that out of all the various Lemmy apps, Jerboa is the only one that actually shows downvote counts. All the other apps have it removed or abstracted into a percentage the way reddit handled it. It's very annoying. Will Sync have an option to see downvote counts for comments and posts?

It does not, at least not front and center the way Jerboa does. I found no option to show downvotes directly when I used it for about a week or so. I reinstalled it just now to see if that changed and it hasn't. Only way to see downvotes is to press the 3 dots on a post or a comment, press "nerd stuff" then press "counts" to see upvotes and downvotes. This is an annoying hassle to have to do on every comment and post, and there's no option to just show it in the UI instead of 3 menus deep.

Unless we're talking about different things. Lol

I don't think you understood me right. That option is on by default. It only shows upvotes when turned on, not upvotes and downvotes. Jerboa shows both in one place, Liftoff does not, regardless of whether that option is on or off.
