it’s an eyesore to use the app with the down vote icons since my instance disabled them. when you click on them they work but obviously it doesn’t actually do anything (the animation works but the down vote isn’t registered since they’re off on the instance)
it would be nice to hide them altogether like in eternity for lemmy.
thanks :3
is there a way for 3rd party clients to know whether it’s disabled, can the info be fetched via the api?
i’m pretty sure there is since i know eternity for lemmy doesn’t show me the downvote button when i’m logged in.
(i believe it’s: https://join-lemmy.org/api/interfaces/LocalSite.html#enable_downvotes)
Is your instance actually removing them or is it just hidden in the css?
Would be great if it had a general prohibition symbol over it, instead of being removed.
i think an option would be nice but the problem is that it’s just wasted space in my case because it’s not necessary on my instance.
this is what it looks like in the ui on my instance:
(not meaning to argue; just explaining! :))
Ah, I see. I didn’t realize those instances actually blocked down votes for posts in other instances as well.
yeah it still works like i think other instances can downvote people on instances with it disabled; it just won’t be shown to the people on those instances (it never goes below 1)
