Sorry if it has already been suggested, but I’d love to see an option to separate and display the downvotes. A little switch in the settings menu would be perfect, so people could choose if they do or do not want this displayed. It’s atm what’s keeping me from using Lemma all the time. Lemmy has been a source of informations for many interests I have and downvotes help me a lot when it comes to reading comments. If a comment has 76 upvotes and 74 downvotes, it will be displayed as (+)2 which isn’t helpful in many cases. Of course, I believe users should be able to turn this on/off at will. I know some of us don’t like seeing downvotes.

    Great suggestion! I’m in the process of adding a bunch of settings, so that users can decide themselves what they want to see in post and comment items.

    I’ll include the ability to customize the way that upvotes/downvotes are displayed
