Hello,

Still pretty new to Lemmy. Came from the Reddit blackout. The instance my account is with(?) seems to have a rule or setting that prevents us from seeing downvotes.

Is there a way to change this for myself?

    I personally find a lack of downvotes to be annoying and harmful. People don’t go through the trouble of reporting problem content, and it usually leads to poor quality inflammatory content rising to the top.

    If you’re new and haven’t really set up yet, explore other instances. You can find one that aligns with what you want out of Lemmy without jumping through hoops.

    If you have set up, there are account migration tools for you. They just aren’t perfect yet

      Thanks. That’s unfortunate. Not sure which to go with, I’m kind-of set up. Got communities for most of what I used Reddit for and the remainder I’m not sure if an appropriate Lemmy community has been made yet.

      Migration is a problem with ActivityPub in general… It’s going to be hard to solve since it needs to work across multiple apps (since you can follow Lemmy users on Mastodon for example).
