    One thing I like about Lemmy is that it shows upvotes and downvotes separately in addition to the composite score.

    When I make a controversial post that gets 7 upvotes and 20 downvotes, I think “Man, this was a good post. 7 people liked it”. On Reddit, I would just think 13 people downvoted it. If anything, on Lemmy downvotes are just proof that I made someone I don’t like mad on the Internet, which is great.

      Oh? I use Liftoff and don’t see that information! I think I’d like that better, too, I think all it’s showing me now is the composite.

      What do you use so I can check it out? Or is it the default web browser?

        I use Jerboa on mobile and the native Lemmygrad UI on desktop.

          Thanks, I only tried jerboa briefly after switching from Reddit but quickly stopped using it because lift off had a better theme imo, but I may just not care and prefer extra features! Suppose I could do a feature request for liftoff, too.
