Be aware we don’t have an active admin so you probably can’t create an account (assuming the server doesn’t just die one day!)
Comment on What is your opinion on the lack of downvotes?
ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 11 months agoThis is probably the main reason I’m considering switching to lemmy.one. Whenever I view a comment or what not, I can feel that I have a bias towards the person being upvoted instead of the one being downvoted. It seems to make it harder to take the post/comment for what it is.
Not only this, but I sometimes end up worrying if I’ll get downvoted for saying something, so I feel like no downvotes is the way to go. Do you know if any Lemmy clients support not showing downvotes if your instance doesn’t have them enabled?

Ah ok. It did let me create an account, but the admin has to approve it so I probably won’t be on lemmy.one anytime soon (if ever)

Memmy and Voyager both let you hide the downvote column, or select total votes between them which results in the sale thing if you’re on a downvote disable server. Other apps may also allow it.

Thanks

Do they let you hide it on any instance or on downvote disabled instances?

Turns out Avelon has a “Show Downvotes” option that you can use on any instance, available in the free features:

Only thing I’m not sure about with it so far is how to attach images to posts. Maybe Injust haven’t found it, or it’s a “pro” option, but I switched back to Memmy for this reply, since it’s fast and uses imgur for the image hosting.

I’ve been trying out the newly updated Avelon app today, and it also seems to automatically hide downvotes on -disabled servers.
It’s free with some features limited to a pro version (I don’t know pricing yet but there’s a lifetime non-subscription option), but the layout is pretty nice so far, you may want to check it out.

I think you’d have to be on a downvote-disabled server.
Memmy doesn’t seem to actually have a setting for it (that I can find), so I guess it just automatically does it.
Voyager has the options “Separate / Total / Hide”, so you could hide the votes altogether on a server with downvotes enabled, but would have to be on a server with them disabled for you to see “Total” votes without downvotes.
Don’t know about other apps.
