~~I'm not sure if there's a way.~~ Blaze has the answer as usual.
Can you link me to a few of those posts out of my own curiosity though?
Sure! So, for example, our current weekly topic and this new topic by a user have been downvoted by user named @[email protected]. Looking around, there's a few others within they've downvoted as well with no upvotes anywhere. Checking the modlog shows they've been banned from other communities for vote manipulation as well (among other things). They don't need to be able to do this.
Checking older posts, I see that someone named @[email protected] had gone in and downvoted dozens of things with no upvotes. Nearly every topic we had at the time, in fact (or at least as many as I looked at). This is not only against community rules, but it's a pretty shit thing to do.
We've also got old blank accounts like @[email protected] and @[email protected] with zero posts or anything of any kind downvoting. They're not contributing anything anywhere, so they don't need to be there at all.
That's just a few examples, but there's more.
I've noticed the same on a few communities I mod. Their modlog seems to show a trend: https://lemmy.ca/modlog?userId=368142
