Btw, old reddit used to display the exact upvote/downvote counts ("x upvoted, y downvoted") for posts AND comments in the "title" attribute of the total number, visible as a tooltip when hovering the mouse over it. All that "x% upvoted it" for posts and removing the counts entirely for comments was nonsense pushed through by the previous reddit jerk CEO on 2014-06-18 against all community opposition (what is it with reddit and dumping unpopular changes in June?).

If you gonna recreate old reddit, please do not include these later CEO meddlings in it! One of the best features of lemmy is the display of exact counts (which was also a major advertised draw of voat.com and raddle.me before it). Let's keep that in!

Yeah I really hope they add that feature to the frontend. Everyone who's been making apps lately seems to either intentionally or unintentionally be leaving out the ability to see accurate vote count. It's rather annoying but also a bit concerning, I really wish more app developers would utilize that feature of Lemmy to see the vote count accurately.

I made an issue by the way on the GitHub.
