I know the points are there and are saved, but why are they not visible on our profile, as a shit poster these points are my applause, my credit, my holy absolutely useless internet points, I love them. So have they be abandoned in the first place?

    It’s a little bit fuzzed because they can only accurately track your instance. But yeah, if there were no db there would be no tally.

      The votes you see are on your instance, every up and down vote is a federated activity and recorded in each instances database (that are subscribed to the community)

        I think that’s what I said, so I have to ask where I’m misunderstanding this. Can you point me to a github or some documentation so that I can better understand?

          Maybe this is a case of just agreeing with each other. I just wanted to clarify that all votes are individually federated and not some aggregate vote total between instances.

            Ah ok I misunderstood then. Yes that’s how I understand it as well. I’m always open to learning more about it though. It’s still young tech and can move fast.
