When I downvote a post from a community based in an instance that disabled downvotes (ie Beehaw), who sees that downvote? Only me? Only other Mlem users? Only users that share my instance? Everyone but Beehaw users?
I’m curious about this even outside of a mlem perspective - do beehaw posts accumulate downvotes but just not display them, or are they accumulated and shown to downvote-enabled instances, or are they just thrown away?
It’s my understanding that if your local instance has downvoting disabled the vote is rejected and not counted.
The current version of the app may be incorrectly displaying it, but this should be resolved in the next version.
As we integrate more with the API we should be able to hide the downvote button when we detect your server has the feature disabled too 🤞
