I read on reddit that on Lemmy you can see users' upvote/downvote history. I therefore expected to be able to see upvote/downvote breakdown by user for my own comments. But couldn't find this. Does this feature exist or is that a myth?

Upvotes are "favourites" on kbin.

Yes, but I'm talking about downvotes. It seems like you'll only see those coming from kbin users.

You will only see them on the instance it happens too. If I downvote on my own instance it will only ever be seen as a downvote here. kbin doesn't federate the downvotes in either direction. I'm happy to be corrected, but I don't think lemmy does either.

I thought that got fixed/changed very soon after the start of the migration?

I think what changed early on was that there wasn't upvotes, only boost. When upvotes were added they went in as favourites.

I changed some code relating to a race condition with multiple consumer processes when a comment is like/unlike cycled and the messages come in together. I couldn't find any code for that. Also there is a PR for adding this suggesting it didn't exist before too.

Also the fact I don't see downvotes on my own instance is another sign.
