I swear every thread has the same 100 people in it so my upvote counter is pretty high for most people. Wondering what it’s at for other people on Lemmy. You tell me my vote count and I’ll tell you what I have for you :)

Can someone do me? 😄 I am super curious

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

This is the option under User Tags? What does Store Source Link mean?

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

+1. Just enabled as well.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I have the feature enabled, but I don't have any vote history for you.

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

[+2], I just turned it on since I only learnt about it from this post.

Thanks for causing me to learn something.

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

I’m getting the sense that I don’t upvote people enough, most of my tracked votes are negative.

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

It is now +1 because I didn't know there was a feature for something like this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don’t have a counter for you. I’m not sure I’ve ever come across your stuff before. At least not on this account. One of the others may have found you.

I mean I do now from this post, but before that.

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

WTH? When was that added? I’ve been using this since wefwef and I hadn’t a clue.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You guys are getting upvotes?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have you at +7 so you are for sure :)

You're actually now a +6 for me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

You’re at +23 for me!

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago (2 children)

TIL that’s a thing. It wasn’t even turned on for me

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

I discovered it today as well. I enabled it for now but I don't know if it's really a good idea.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days ago

Yeah! It’s fun but definitely exposes that the average comment section is mostly made up of the same people.

I have you at +2

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I’m new here. What am I looking for?

Edit: Found it. Everyone is at 0 because it wasn’t enabled. That’s a fun feature

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago (3 children)

If you use voyager (app to access lemmy) then you can go to settings -> user tags -> track votes and turn it on. It will then show a running counter next to people's names for the total number of upvotes/ downvotes you've given someone.

Welcome to lemmy!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Ooh, that is neat! I've been using Lemmy for months and didn't know this was a thing. You're my first tracked upvote now :)

First time I read about that feature. It seems it starts counting only after you enable it, unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Aw yeah, that makes sense. I have you at +1 before this comment

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I just enabled it after reading this!

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

Zero because the setting is off.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Aw. I have you at +33 though!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Where do you enable this setting?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Interesting such a feature exists in voyager. If I hadn't seen this post I never would've found it even if I used voyager for years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Thank you for pointing it out!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Use voyager -> Settings-> user tags -> track votes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Thank you. I should update my apps more often.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I have you at +1 now, and added a "Probably Steve" tag for good measure

Didn't realise this was a feature. Just enabled it.

You are at +1 now.

Edit: +4 after reading the comments. I'm a prolific upvoter.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Not too shabby!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Too bad it's not retroactive, but it seems cool to at least start

[+1]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Do you mean upvotes on this post? I'm old and confused

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a feature of the Voyager app, a type of user "tags" that adds the number of times you've upvoted someone next to their username, like so
