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?

    Thank you for pointing this out. I was looking into privacy on Lemmy and came across this post where I got the wrong idea I guess. I couldn’t find much else online

    And I believe there’s work in progress to discard deleted posts after 30 days.

    That would be a nice addition
