Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.

Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

    That’s not really true, since on reddit only the one host can see the votes, as opposed to anyone who is willing to put the effort in.

      That’s exactly what I mean when I said:

      whereas Reddit is only hosted by the company and they can keep it under wraps.
