Hi I made a Lemmy account specifically to save posts for future view.

To support the OPs, I opted to like instead of saving them as doing both is not ideal as I don't like to save every post, only some important ones.

But to my surprise, there is no way of viewing posts you liked/upvoted. Only saved posts appear in your profile.

This is in stark contrast to Reddit and even Mastodon which show both. I wonder if such a feature is in the pipeline or some way which exists to view them.

The best alternative is to just have lists support in Saved Posts like Instagram or Pinterest has.

Can any third party Lemmy clients do this? To be clear- I'd like to view posts I upvoted retrospectively and not from now on or something.

This is not a new request. I made this post to ask for things other requesters have not mentioned such as third party clients and comparision to Mastodon and Pinterest.

There is an API end point to get upvoted posts. I don't know about third party clients, but you can get it with curl:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H 'Authorization: Bearer <Auth token here>' \ 
  -X GET 'https://ukfli.uk/api/v3/post/list?type_=All&sort=New&liked_only=true' | jq

As @flamingos@ukfli.uk said, there's an API endpoint for that, so third party clients can show it, even if the web interface do not.

I happen to use Boost for Lemmy on my Android and I can see all my upvotes and downvotes on my profile page.

Can confirm. Just looked at Boost and there they all are. Pretty neat. (Boost is the only app I've seen that notifies you of comments too)

Bro, thanks for this! I had Boost but didn't realize it had that!

Is this even a new feature lol.

I don't remember that I saw it before.
