Interesting difference from Reddit: Upvotes/Downvotes are not anonymous (programming.dev)

Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.

Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

Fine by me. I'll stand by my votes!

Has also been handy for a makeshift bookmark, so I can return to the stuff I liked.

Where can you see your vote history? I use Firefox and Jerboa to browse.

IIRC, navigate to your own profile and look at the "tabs" beneath your profile blurb.i forget which one but they'll be a list of what you've boosted.

Hope that makes sense; post-op and woozy . I also had Firefox in mind when I answered
