I think it's just not implemented because the devs didn't know it was an important feature to prioritize. It does supposed saved posts, which I imagine is what the devs anticipated was most useful for users.
Gotta keep in mind we're just about to get 0.19.0, it's not even v1 yet so a lot of things are still missing.
But yes the data exists, in fact I have the vote history of everyone my instance has seen in the communities I'm subscribed to.
So someone can actually see all the weird shit I’ve upvoted? Oopsie
All the admins with database access can, yes.
This is the fediverse, everything has to be public and auditable otherwise vote manipulation would be easy.
If you want to really be anonymous, your best bet is to use multiple accounts on multiple instances. If you upvote sketchy stuff, use the anonymous account, and otherwise, use your regular more public account.
Yeah I know. I’m just goofing.
You have a nice taste, wink wink.
I assume admins can see it, and there should be a record of it because stumbling across an old post you upvoted still shows that you upvoted it
I upvoted this post and maybe I'll see it again once the feature is implemented. :)
thanks for the tech details. It sucks that there's no endpoint for upvotes (yet). I find favorites/saved and upvoted to be distinctly different at least the way I use it. Upvotes communicate to me (and others) that content is of value or that I agree with it. However Saved/Favorite may mean that I disagree with content but I'd like to keep reference for future times. That latter is a private info too so nobody benefits from me "saving" that content other than myself.
TLDR; I'd have to get used to hitting upvote and "save" buttons on content of interest and learn to filter through my "saved" stuff while devs are comming up with endpoints for upvotes.
funny thing is: "Eternity" looks like it shows totals for my upvotes on posts/comments but not showing what those are
Not sure who'll read this, but I'd love to be able to browse posts I upvoted (as is doable on Reddit).
Hopefully, it'll be implemented since Lemmy is still in its infancy, like another poster said
Edit: fixed grammar
Is this a feature a developer for any Lemmy client can code and implement themselves, because the data is already there, just not filtered and used for this kind of statistic?
Or is it something that has to be implemented on the server/instance first, in order to answer my first question with yes?
It needs to he implemented on the server first! It's in the database, but there's no API call that will return it.
