    Except, if you’re using anything other than Lemmy at this point that information is already about. The Likes/Dislikes are considered public information by the protocol. Lemmy devs probably just didn’t get around to building out the UI for that before the Reddit APIcolypse.

      Lemmy actually marks votes as private for federation, but it seems that kbin/mbin ignore that.

        Ahh, didn’t even know there was a flag for that. I don’t suppose you could link to the relevant w3c or FEP for it?

            How about you assume less? I spent 40+ minutes looking for this here, here, here and here and I’m already fairly familiar having done work on two other ActivityPub based projects.

            In addition public-addressing (or the lack of use thereof) in no way claims to achieve what you’ve stated - which is probably why it’s not the answer to my query.

              Right the standard is even more vague than I remember. Unfortunately it’s the only thing we have.
