Sync needs the option to display upvotes and downvotes, not just combined votes. (lemmy.ml)

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?

not for me? unless im missing something

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?

ah i see that posts do, however comments do not.

Every post on my feed is at a 100%, bug.

Mine is pretty much always at 100% which is odd

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.

It's a bug, same for all posts on mine
