it seems some do, some dont. 
I noticed it's only arrows if there are zero downvotes. As soon as something has a down vote then the numbers appear. Which makes sense I suppose. No point having zero sitting there at all times.
But my eye is very naturally drawn to the number next to the arrow (Probably because years of Reddit and also because it's the part where I interact) so having it there sometimes and sometimes not is a small annoyance
Oh yeah, it does the same for me. Weird.
I am very torn between giving you an upvote because you are correct, vs giving you a downvote to illustrate the lesson.
Can you link me to the comment thread in your image? I have also been having issues connecting to lemmy.world with mlem and would like to see the other comments. Thanks!
On comments viewed on the lemmy.world site, the number is in the upper right for some reason, but hovering over it shows both up and downvotes.
Is that this feature?
That seems to work yes, but still that number seems to go all over the place sometimes (a bit before this post had over 400 upvotes, and a few seconds later it is back at 6 again). The hover number does stay the same, though.
yeah I don't see any numbers at all.
Yeah I was wondering about the numbers changing. Is that because of the federation (sometimes the server sums up all the federated votes and other times not)?
I don't think so. I watched it jump from -26 up to 1.4k!
honestly I'd just be happy to get a way to collapse comment trees
Is that different between instances? On lemmy.world there's a little [-] to the right of the commenter's name you can click to collapse the thread below that point. It's a bad place for it, but it works.
Yep it took me a while to figure out too. The android app just lets you click on the comment as well to collapse
Gods bless you stranger
On jerboa you just tap the comment
Use this script
Edit: wait sorry this is a lemmy forum. Iβm on kbin. Disregard
They seem to also be on kbin so it's a valid solution for them.
Lemmy already has an option to collapse comments
Honestly I personally prefer Kbin anyways,
also thanks for the script, its pretty neat
No prob. It even works on mobile. If you look on my page thereβs a couple other scripts for dark mode. One for web(also android) and another for iOS
How is this supposed to work if I'm looking at this thread from somewhere like kbin? On my side I just see upvote/downvote arrows and a number? How does all of that work when the comment is pulled into here?
The data that will be the same everywhere is basically everything that is described according to the ActivityPub protocol.
Everything else can be calculated and displayed by the server or frontend, so that's where most of the differences arise.
In this case, we likely won't see it on kbin, unless whatever app or frontend we're using implements it. Someone also may create a plugin or add-on you can install on your browser to add it as a feature.
