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 :)

Yeah we're waiting on a lot of things actually.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Anything in particular?

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

Editing posts actually. On the website you can edit the title, contents, and body after submission.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

You can edit the content right now but not the title. I'll add that to the to-do.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I mean content like the url. You can only edit text posts presently. Post a link to a website and you can't edit anything.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Try posting a link submission and then editing it.

The website let's you edit all this:

I've added support for this in one of the recent builds.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

I've noticed :)

Thanks again

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

[-] Snoopy@jlai.lu 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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 ?

[-] ubergeek77@lemmy.ubergeek77.chat 6 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Snoopy@jlai.lu 3 points 6 months ago

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

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

On the tracker but I'll look into adding this soon.
