Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)…

What you see via the UI isn’t “all that exists”. Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see “under the hood”. Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won’t normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.

    To those of use who understand how it works, yes. Five minutes in Lemmy support makes it obvious that there are many people who DON’T understand how it works. Hence, YSK.

      Which has been extremely helpful. It took me a second to have a grasp on what was going on here, but it was an almost painless switch for me, especially because of these tips showing up in my feed. I still scroll some of them because of the additional tips/info in the comments

      I feel like I’m kinda back to the forum-feel of when I lurked around SA; but this is way cooler imo. And everyone’s been really awesome here trying to make it work for all of us, so quickly. I’m a very appreciative new user!
