I read on reddit that on Lemmy you can see users’ upvote/downvote history. I therefore expected to be able to see upvote/downvote breakdown by user for my own comments. But couldn’t find this. Does this feature exist or is that a myth?

kbin doesn’t federate (in or out) downvotes. To the best of my knowledge lemmy doesn’t either. But, I’m not 100% on that.
Lemmy does, I see them in my DB, at least for posts.
How does it work not federating downvotes, wouldn’t the numbers then be wrong on all federated servers, as in not counting kbin user down votes?
Well an upvote and downvote are counted entirely separate on kbin. There isn’t a deduction. So, you’ll just see the upvote count for federated content and only see the downvotes from local users.
Huh, so that essentially means kbin users essentially have downvotes disabled, only that they can still be down voted by other instances. Really weird, are you sure about this?
Pretty sure. I did some work on the favourites code (normal upvotes) recently and saw downvotes were stored separate (as vote) with no handler. Also someone else made a pull request to handle downvotes. Not implemented as of now.
Also the serious lack of downvotes on my instance.
So do they also ignore downvotes from other instances?
