Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.

Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

    All lemmy users will have to host a cache of the entire fediverse and run their own content sorting algorithm. Moderation and voting will be subscription based

    Damn, that sounds awesome. I hadn’t envisioned that scenario but it makes a lot of sense.
