I read on reddit that on Lemmy you can see users’ upvote/downvote history. I therefore expected to be able to see upvote/downvote breakdown by user for my own comments. But couldn’t find this. Does this feature exist or is that a myth?

    That’s true, but I don’t think any search engines care about the Fediverse for the moment. There’s not a lot of money to be made on all of these ad-free websites. With the relatively small communities it’s also not a great source for stealing AI training data from.

    Plus, the fact the content is mirrored all over the place probably triggers clone/bot detection, with clickable links to other Fediverse instances triggering the anti-bot measures.

    A huge network of pages mostly linking to each other, all replicating each other’s contents, sounds like a textbook example of SEO abuse.
