Is there a way to display total upvotes and total downvotes by the arrows like it was before the update? I don't care for the new way it displays up in the total score.

It still does. You only see them separately if there's both up and down votes.

Doesn't anymore on mine that just updated.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'm seeing it on this very post.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

I'm not seeing it on this post, no numbers next to the arrows.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I have this issue as well. Sometimes I can see them and sometimes I can't

Pre 0.0.60, the rules for showing the votes in arrows were -> show scores setting enabled + and if there are downvotes

Now with 0.0.60 Dessalines reworked how the votes are displayed.

Modes (all in header):

  • Display full -> show score and downvotes
  • Display score + upvote ratio
  • Display score
  • Hidden

They will be configurable once the setting is persisted.

I have proposed to add a Display votes in arrow setting (Old behaviour)

We will see what comes from it.

Wait I didn't understand. Can I choose the mode on 0.0.60 or it's set by instance/community moderators?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

You will be able to chose it eventually, once we added the ability to persist the setting. It would be pointless to be able to change if it resets when you close the app.

It only shows the downvotes if it's <90% liked. I'm in the process of adding additional vote display modes to lemmy's back end, you can see that here.

See the existing github issues about this for my rationale.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

@dessalines I disagree. Having all of that information available is harmless. The score confirms the upvote to downvote ratio, and it's not cluttered. Also, you spelt "though" incorrectly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't agree with that. And I'll spell tho exactly how I want to. Do you have a problem with that?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

@dessalines Okay, we don't have to agree. That's the beauty of a friendly debate. And yes, I understand that orthographic customs evolve with the language; it was wrong of me to accuse you of a misspelling. It was my stubborn brain telling me to type that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Apologies, I thought I was on the most recent update. Post-updste, I see in the update log that vote display notification has changed. I also want to revert the behavior.

[–] Bonesince1997 3 points 8 months ago

Some people must have had the update early. I heard others talking about this before it happened to me. Now I wish we could go back to the old format. Much easier to see totals.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

There seems to be a bug. Sometimes the numbers only show after using them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

0.60 shows them next round the total count, and not always

[–] MrJameGumb 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I just got the update yesterday and I hate this new setting. I like to know if people are downvoting things I've posted! Seeing a post that just shows 3 total upvotes and nothing else is much different than seeing that my post got 25 upvotes and 22 downvotes. This changes the entire vibe of the app and kind of makes me just not want to bother posting anymore...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah I agree 100%. The closest I can get is the total votes in the upper left, with the number of downvotes next to it, so you have to do mental math to reverse engineer the vote totals.

Definitely bring back the old way as an option!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I've actually added 4 different new vote display modes, but will wait for my back end PR before adding them as a setting. Until then I'll probably use a sane default, ie score and upvote percentage, like I see most other lemmy front ends using.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Could you make the previous mode an option too? Having both upvotes and downvotes visible is less mentally taxing than trying to calculate upvotes from percentages or downvotes, and the up/down buttons are natural positions for such text. And perhaps an option for both that and the percentage too

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

I agree with @[email protected], I didn't find it messy at all, it seemed very intuitive to have the number of upvotes and downvotes next to their respective arrows, with the score in the top left.

I completely understand if you don't want this to be default, but I'd really like to keep it as an option I can choose for my own viewing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Idk if I should write that on github but I don't think the previous layout was messy. It worked well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

showing all votes was my main reason to use jerboa over the others. it'd be preferable if it were a toggle.

[–] Bonesince1997 4 points 8 months ago

Bring back please
