    While it’s not a feature of lemmy, you can if you absolutely need to, without being subscribed to a kbin instance.

    See for yourself: Go here to see this very thread on kbin, scroll down and click on the “favourites” tab, it will show you precisely who voted how on your post and when. For comments, see hitagi’s reply.

      Interesting. But that’s more like the Mastodon favorite I guess. And considering the heavy Mastodon/Kbin similarities, that’s not surprising of course.

      There’s also a downvote and upvote section, but those are all empty.

      I’ll deliberately try to downvote your comment to see what happens.

      Edit: indeed, there’s no downvote. Just one less upvote. How does this work?

      Edit2: I’ve undone my downvote and now two favorites show again. But what’s weird is that my downvote simply removed the upvote of the (first?) upvoter of your comment. Is this really what Kbin does? You cannot start removing upvotes of random other users can you?

          Well, that’s about it. But isn’t this strange?

          • Upvotes/downvotes are actually favorites on Kbin
          • If a Lemmy user downvotes a Kbin comment, one favorite gets removed

          At least, that’s what appears to be happening. You can check for yourself with the link provided to the Kbin instance above.
