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?
Hmmm, tbh, I don’t think that’s a feature I’d want. Every now and again you see “that guy” furious that he’s getting downvotes, doubling down and trying to start an argument or something. I don’t need that guy showing up in my DMs.
It’s possible now if you visit the same page through kbin.
Yeah only necessary for the admins to see vote manipulation bots.
Oooh, good point. As an admin/moderator feature, that’s a much better idea.
Nah not for mods, there are communitys with certain mods that already behave like u/awkwardturtle did just and only for the admins
If you aren’t willing to own your interactions with people, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it? Why do you feel the need to hide? Thought processes like this are what leads to toxicity online. If you aren’t willing to own your comments and votes, you shouldn’t be allowed to interact with people in a community.
We call people that want to be negative online while remaining anonymous a troll. Don’t be a troll.
It actually already is a feature. Kbin puts it upfront, and I think lemmy also has a way to access it.
I think it remains to be seen whether or not it’s a good idea.
I’ve seen some people say they like the idea because it make people think twice about downvoting - it cuts back on the instinctive “I don’t like this so I am gonna downvote.”
But, as you said, do we really want people coming after you because you downvoted them? There are crazy ass people out there, and if you ever get doxxed it could be a problem.
Maybe that last point is hyperbole, but crazy people are gonna do crazy things.
“karma” (as reddit calls scoring) never was more true to its name. :)
I haven’t looked at Lemmy’s implementation of upvotes/downvotes, but they should be ActivityPub activities, so it means they should appear by making a request to the user’s actor.
EDIT: I’ve just checked random users outbox (that’s the ActivityPub name for the list of activities), included mine, they are actually just empty. So that probably means that Lemmy is only publishing the upvotes/downvotes when pushing activities to federated servers, which would make those activities way more private, although not completely : someone could setup their own instance to learn about them, and it’s best to be assume that at some point, someone will start such instance and publish an app revealing all votes for everybody (plus, as others mentioned, Kbin is already doing it).
Oh, I know who upvotes me. It’s the awesome people.
And the people who downvote me are the people that suck.
Upvoting because I want to be an awesome person
Me as well!
You were awesome before you upvoted!
you can but preserve your sanity and stay away from it

It would also open the door for rogue instances to send out massive downvote counts without any data to back that up. That’s not to say you couldn’t already do that with fake users, but it’s much easier to identify a mass of fake users than it is to identify a mass of fake downvotes as a number.
Yes, it’s possible via kbin.social.
kbin lets you see who voted for what https://lemmy.world/post/3027601
Open any post on KBin. Click the url (x comments) so that the title shows in the URL, and add /votes/down. Eg:
- https://kbin.social/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/329561/Is-is-possible-to-see-who-upvoted-downvoted-a-specific-comment/votes/down
- https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml/t/329396/How-many-of-you-are-actually-chatbots/votes/down
The link is also at the bottom of every thread.
For comments, click on “more -> activity”.
The URLs are different so you can’t just edit the URL, you have to find the post on kbin.social: https://lemmy.world/post/8552850 vs https://kbin.social/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/643937
If a kbin.social user comments on the thread you can find it that way (their fediverse link).
On Kbin, you can: https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml/t/329396/How-many-of-you-are-actually-chatbots/votes/down
On Lemmy, it’s
available on the APavailable in the database, so an admin instance can get that, but I don’t know of any client that offers the featurei don’t think it’s in the api. is in the DB, but not exposed anywhere. one instance admin could do query and see them.

If that becomes a thing i will stop voting on posts and comments.
Open any post on KBin. Click the url, and add
/votes/down
. those are the people who downvoted that post.If the post is from Lemmy you can view “favourites” and “reduces” instead, just add
/favourites
or/reduces
to the end of the url.Enjoy :)
So, https://lemmy.ca/post/3102921/reduces for this post? Doesn’t seem to work?
You have to open the post from KBin, and it seems
/reduces
is wrong; it must be/votes/down
.Examples:
Upvotes:
https://kbin.social/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/329561/Is-is-possible-to-see-who-upvoted-downvoted-a-specific-comment/favourites
Downvotes:
https://kbin.social/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/329561/Is-is-possible-to-see-who-upvoted-downvoted-a-specific-comment/votes/down
Boosts:
https://kbin.social/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/329561/Is-is-possible-to-see-who-upvoted-downvoted-a-specific-comment/votes/up
Thanks! For my understanding, I’m guessing kbin can only see/display the votes that other kbin users have made in this link?
