I use the Memmy app on iOS. I edited a comment a day or so ago, and I happened to notice that my comment vote count was reset.

I logged into wefwef, and confirmed the number is the same there.

My account is hosted on the lemmy.world instance.

I’d like to understand if this is a result of the app, the instance, or of the Lemmy platform itself.

To be clear, I’m not too worried about the “points”, but I recognize that even for me, this number is rewarding to look at as a measurement of my interactions with the community, and resetting of that number will diminish enjoyment a little. Many people would be really upset by this, to the degree that I imagine them abandoning the platform.
