The question is basically the title.
It’s very hit-and-miss. But mostly miss. That picture of a cat hiding under wrapping paper taunts me.
It doesn’t seem to be related to what instance the content is on. But I haven’t been able to find any pattern.
Is there an alternative (for non-instance-admins) that works more reliably?
Why can’t someone just make a frontend that shows the voters?
Good question. If you fuck with the more microblog side of fediverse, votes literally appear on your posts as likes. Now that I think about it that’s a viable alternative, OP. you just can’t browse lemmy the same way, you have follow comms as if they’re topics to get them to appear on your feed.
I should see if I can get wafrn to talk to lemmies and piefeds.
They can and it has been done, IIRC Friendica or something does that…? (Correct me if I am wrong.)
Even on Lemmy, community mods can see who voted how on which posts and comments.
