  You express your like or dislike regarding the sentiment expressed by the post, not the thing(s) mentioned in the post.

    That’s fine but does that action always correspond to wanting to upvote or downvote the post? I guess maybe? Lemmy at least assumes so.

      @SorteKanin My server translates Lemmy upvotes into likes and downvotes into dislikes. That blends quite well in the UI with Mastodon's "favorites" and Pleroma/Misskey emoji reactions, so I think Lemmy's assumptions are correct
