Whenever I post or comment (collectively, “post”), it has my upvote automatically without me doing anything, so the post always starts at +1/-0.
Now I’ve seen fresh posts with +0/-0, so not even the user itself is upvoting.
I don’t really care that much about votes, but I’m curious. Is this the user removing their own upvote, a client feature, some server feature, or some other reason?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: typos


Might be a cross post from somewhere that doesn’t have votes like Mastodon.
That
couldmay apply to posts, but I don’t think it does for comments?I have seen it on comments too.
Yes it does. It is possible to comment on Lemmy posts from Mastodon if the posts were for some reason federated to a Mastodon server.
Ah, didn’t know that was possible. I have been in the fediverse for a few years but I’m still a newbie on the technicals.
Thanks!
