Hi !

I got a repport from someone who use sync. And she/he didn't know that downvote where deactivated except the error message : unable to cast downvote.

I think the downvote arrow should be hidden for those instances who desactivated them.

Good afternoon :)

It doesn't seem like the Lemmy API provides any way to tell if a remote instance has downvotes disabled or not.

Thank, i'm not well versed on the technical side but jerboa and thunder handle them and have a way to detect them then remove the arrow.

It seems manageable ?

Then I'm probably wrong. It's not clear at all how those apps are doing it though. The API documentation is rough.

Sadly, i can't help with that but maybe app devs can provide infornation on those part.
