Hello,

Still pretty new to Lemmy. Came from the Reddit blackout. The instance my account is with(?) seems to have a rule or setting that prevents us from seeing downvotes.

Is there a way to change this for myself?

There's not a way to change it on an individual level.

As far as I'm aware / heard, when an instance has it disabled, it doesn't even store information (or process) downvotes, so even if you could override it (such as by using a third party client) there'd be nothing to view.

I could be wrong though, might be worth trying some of the mobile apps to see if it displays it, just to confirm. For desktop, there's also Photon.

Alright. Thanks for letting me know 'bout Photon as well.

For desktop, there's also Photon.

Alexandrite is also a good choice.

They're not just for desktop. Both work well on mobile too. They're just alternative web UIs. A good web UI with PWA support mostly negates the need to have a native app.

You are right, apologies I should've been more specific about that! When I wrote the original comment, I was on mobile and had brought up the bookmark and was like "Oh damn, Photon looks great on mobile!" 😅

I have "install Alexandrite" on my todo list but I might try Photon too. I didn't know about it until seeing your comment. I have my own Lemmy server so I'd install it on my server.
