In the official browser app, and any of the mobile apps that I have examined so far, it seems that you are only ever able to see the total number of likes, or dislikes that a post has, and you are not able to see exactly who upvoted, or downvoted the post. Does ActivityPub, or Lemmy track this information at all, or does it just keep a tally?

    and see people upvote their own comment.

    Upvoting one’s own comment is default behaviour on Lemmy. When a user makes a post, or comment on Lemmy, it gets automatically upvoted by that user.

      On kbin the votes start at 0 for both up and downvotes. If I don’t manually vote on my comment it will show me 0 votes after posting. I have no idea how it appears on other instances.

        On Kbin, your comment has 0 upvotes and 0 downvotes (at the time of writing this), but when I view your comment from the original instance, it shows a score of 1.

        So I guess lemmy.ml defaults comments at 1 point.

        EDIT: Immediately refreshed the original instance, and I’m also at 1 point within 3 seconds of posting. So yeah, that seems to just be the default score. And upvoting my own comment didn’t change the score on lemmy.ml. But also, I upvoted your comment, and you’re still at 1 point on lemmy.ml. So I dunno if that’s a sync issue, or if “unscored” and “1 upvote” both equal “1” on the original instance.

            I see 2 upvotes and 0 downvotes to your earlier comment on Kbin, but still only +1 on the original instance.

      Mind kbin shows upvotes from other instance and doesn’t show downvotes from other instances. Just the ones from kbin itself.
