Sync needs the option to display upvotes and downvotes, not just combined votes.
I'm not sure if any Sync team members read the posts on this community, but I figured I'd let you know that it's a big enough issue to me that I'm going to stop using the app until it's implemented. This is an otherwise good app, but combined scores misrepresent the overall sentiment of a post or comment and I think it has an overall negative impact on how people interact. Cheers.
Posts already have a percentage by them showing how much it's been upvoted or downvoted, and that's enough for me. I'm guessing you would just want the same for comments?
That's definitely odd. Here's a pic of this post we're talking on. You can see the percentage after the time it was posted. Maybe it's something that comes with using a compact view?
Not really. Unlike Reddit, Lemmy doesn't try to modify the number of upvotes to phase out newer posts, and also people around here generally seem to not downvote posts without a reason.
I am happy with the way it works currently, but many apps have both ways of showing votes, I don't think this is hard to implement, and as long as we have a toggle I'd say why not?
especially whenever the opposing reason is "no thanks, not for me"
there are other apps that have this feature, and im glad it does. that and no tolerance for ads are large reasons i chose the app i have, sorry sync. <3
I'm situations like this, I'd rather see that my comment is at -4 because it has 12 upvotes and 16 down votes than wonder if it has 1 upvote and 5 downvotes
