On comments viewed on the lemmy.world site, the number is in the upper right for some reason, but hovering over it shows both up and downvotes.

it seems some do, some dont. hmmm

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I noticed it's only arrows if there are zero downvotes. As soon as something has a down vote then the numbers appear. Which makes sense I suppose. No point having zero sitting there at all times.

But my eye is very naturally drawn to the number next to the arrow (Probably because years of Reddit and also because it's the part where I interact) so having it there sometimes and sometimes not is a small annoyance

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, it does the same for me. Weird.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am very torn between giving you an upvote because you are correct, vs giving you a downvote to illustrate the lesson.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you link me to the comment thread in your image? I have also been having issues connecting to lemmy.world with mlem and would like to see the other comments. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that this feature?

That seems to work yes, but still that number seems to go all over the place sometimes (a bit before this post had over 400 upvotes, and a few seconds later it is back at 6 again). The hover number does stay the same, though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

yeah I don't see any numbers at all.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I was wondering about the numbers changing. Is that because of the federation (sometimes the server sums up all the federated votes and other times not)?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don't think so. I watched it jump from -26 up to 1.4k!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

honestly I'd just be happy to get a way to collapse comment trees

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that different between instances? On lemmy.world there's a little [-] to the right of the commenter's name you can click to collapse the thread below that point. It's a bad place for it, but it works.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep it took me a while to figure out too. The android app just lets you click on the comment as well to collapse

[–] Celestial6370 1 points 1 year ago

What android app are you using I'm on Jerboa and don't have that functionality.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Gods bless you stranger

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

On jerboa you just tap the comment

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Use this script

Edit: wait sorry this is a lemmy forum. I’m on kbin. Disregard

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

They seem to also be on kbin so it's a valid solution for them.

Lemmy already has an option to collapse comments

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Honestly I personally prefer Kbin anyways,
also thanks for the script, its pretty neat

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No prob. It even works on mobile. If you look on my page there’s a couple other scripts for dark mode. One for web(also android) and another for iOS

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is this supposed to work if I'm looking at this thread from somewhere like kbin? On my side I just see upvote/downvote arrows and a number? How does all of that work when the comment is pulled into here?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The data that will be the same everywhere is basically everything that is described according to the ActivityPub protocol.

Everything else can be calculated and displayed by the server or frontend, so that's where most of the differences arise.

In this case, we likely won't see it on kbin, unless whatever app or frontend we're using implements it. Someone also may create a plugin or add-on you can install on your browser to add it as a feature.
