A little tag if commenting user has up-voted a topic? (lemmy.ml)

This could be some incentive for up-voting relevant topics. Maybe also a tag indicating a commenting user has joined the community they are posting in?

@[email protected], are you able to answer this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago (1 children)

@[email protected] sure, there's no API that exposes your upvotes / downvotes, but I think it'd be fine to expose that for your own user. I'll open an issue.

I think you misunderstood the comment but it is answered here: https://lemmy.ml/post/69362/comment/61311

Apparently all votes are public. Maybe it would make sense to surface this in the UI then to make it obvious that this is the case.

Ah, federation sure, but that's a case where we shouldn't expose it outside of trusted instances, and certainly not in the api.

Can you elaborate for trusted instances? I can't find anything about those and I thought anyone could stand up their own Lemmy and connect to the fediverse. I didn't realize that you had to be approved to follow a community.

There is open, allow list, and block list federation.
