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?
You must log in or register to comment.
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?
The API rejects the downvote. In the current build this shows up as the downvote being de-highlighted as soon as the API comes back with the failure response–in the future we’d like to have the downvote button disabled in instances where it’s disabled, but that’s a pretty low priority feature at the moment
