What are downvotes seen by kbin users on lemmy content? It could just be the kbin instance's local downvotes of the federated content but I never noticed a lack of down votes on lemmy-hosted content when I was running a personal kbin instance.
kbin doesn't federate (in or out) downvotes. To the best of my knowledge lemmy doesn't either. But, I'm not 100% on that.
Well an upvote and downvote are counted entirely separate on kbin. There isn't a deduction. So, you'll just see the upvote count for federated content and only see the downvotes from local users.
Pretty sure. I did some work on the favourites code (normal upvotes) recently and saw downvotes were stored separate (as vote) with no handler. Also someone else made a pull request to handle downvotes. Not implemented as of now.
Also the serious lack of downvotes on my instance.
