If I understand correctly, Kbin users can see what Lemmy users upvote or downvote their post. Is that correct? (feddit.nl)

I stumbled upon this issue on github:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3291

But I didn't know or expect Kbin users can see what Lemmy users upvote or downvote their post. Is this indeed what Kbin users can do?

While it's not a feature of lemmy, you can if you absolutely need to, without being subscribed to a kbin instance.

See for yourself: Go here to see this very thread on kbin, scroll down and click on the "favourites" tab, it will show you precisely who voted how on your post and when. For comments, see hitagi's reply.

Interesting. But that's more like the Mastodon favorite I guess. And considering the heavy Mastodon/Kbin similarities, that's not surprising of course.

There's also a downvote and upvote section, but those are all empty.

I'll deliberately try to downvote your comment to see what happens.

Edit: indeed, there's no downvote. Just one less upvote. How does this work?

Edit2: I've undone my downvote and now two favorites show again. But what's weird is that my downvote simply removed the upvote of the (first?) upvoter of your comment. Is this really what Kbin does? You cannot start removing upvotes of random other users can you?
