Yes. And I think better make it obvious that votes aren't private, instead of people wrongly assuming that they are.

I still think it's just unfair. You can lookup votes and harass people only IF you know enough about computers. Anybody persistent enough to harass other people will put a little bit of work into being able to look up votes.
In addition, as we can see, this "semi-privacy" confuses a lot of people. Better that all users KNOW that their votes are visible, instead of them thinking they are private.
I was one of those people. But statistically, even the people who migrated from Reddit to here are not "normies". My "normie" friends (which is all of them 🥲) just kept on using Reddit and didn't notice anything. They weren't even using 3rd party apps.
Kinda same. I also have an Ubuntu homelab server, but I feel like I use my Steam Deck more often than I spend an occasional 3-day all-nighter to get something working on the server over SSH.
But my joke premise was obviously flawed anyway. We are supposed to be, but we clearly aren't.
And to address your point regarding votes being viewable only by admins, it's sort of pointless cause anybody can become an admin, just make your own instance. This just makes your statement to be "let only the more technically advanced people see the votes", which just makes it unfair.
I was really confused seeing this post, because I always assumed that Lemmy votes were public. Because how else are instances going to sync them? And indeed, the API exposes them completely, this change will just make it easier.
Then I was really confused when I saw so many comments being against it. A lot of "I'll leave if votes become public" in here. That's a lot of people who somehow assumed Lemmy was private. Aren't we all supposed to be Linux nerds in here?
Shibboleth.
No problem. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
I used Sync back in Reddit days, but not on Lemmy, so IDK if that's Sync's fault or your instance's*. Try another client? I'm currently using Voyager. It's like Apollo for iOS, but free.
This is the link you're using:
(I also noticed that you switched to using another image 8zyq0d vs 8zykr0, so I'll switch as well to avoid confusion)
It's not a direct link to an image. Use a direct link to an image:
As you can see, the URLs are different:
- "
i." in front ofimgflip.com - "
.jpg" at the end
Try copy-pasting this exact line:
and you should get:
Now, IDK why your client adds the proxy, but I hope that it's not breaking anything. We will know once you try.
Here's the URL in your comment:
https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimgflip.com%2Fi%2F8zyq0d
If you try to open it directly, you'll see an error, when you should be seeing an image.
I see a couple issues with it.
Firstly, URL contains an image proxy. Now, I'm not sure how exactly Lemmy works and if those are necessary, but my comments don't have those (on most clients you can use an option to see the raw comment text).
Secondly, that imgflip URL leads to a page and not to a direct image, which causes issues. If you link the direct image URL like so:
The result is:
Regarding the podcast you linked, I'm in no way associated with it, if that's what you thought. I'm just using an account on StarTrek.website Lemmy instance because I'm a fuckin' nerd. 🖖
The only problem with your image above is that the link to is broken. If you insert an existing URL from web, it will work.
Not sure why your uploads don't work though.
Do you mean you want to insert an inline image? To do that you need to use markdown embed, like so:
Exclamation point makes the image appear inline, instead of as a link.
As a european, fast food is just like a category of food, and more of an occasional treat for me. Normally, I just eat my own homemade food, which is even cheaper. So I guess I see it a little differently, and fast food is allowed to be not cheap if it's "good".
