Is it possible to see who upvoted and downvoted a post or comment in Boost? Its a possibility on Lemmy, but there doesn’t seem to be a function for it on Boost.
You must log in or register to comment.
Its a possibility on Lemmy
The lemmy UI hides it, just like the Boost UI. What people do is they go to lemvotes.org and paste the url to the comment or post to see the up- and downvotes.
What lemmy has, that I’m uncertain if Boost has too, is a convenient way to copy the “true link” from the poster or commenters instance.
On Lemmy you copy the multi coloured star link and paste into lemvotes.org
I recently made a post about this, because I was called out for down voting a post

I feel like the option to do this should be more clear to users of Lemmy altogether
That might have been my inspiration for this post.
And that illustrates why it should not be made so prominent. I’ve twice had people accuse me of stalking them and downvoting everything they post, because they obsessed about the votes on their posts. Neither case was true. But I still got some minor harassment from each perceived slight.
God I hope not.
The way federation works everything in Lemmy has to be public, it’s just up to the instance/app if they want to make it easily visible or try to hide it a bit.
It is possible, and it also surprised me!
