Is it possible to make upvotes/downvotes on my own posts (and comments on my posts) visible, while making everyone else's invisible on the Lemmy website? I like making upvotes & downvotes invisible, because it makes it harder for me to be biased on what I upvote or downvote, based on the amount of upvotes/downvotes posts/comments already have from others. But on the other hand, I would still like to see how many upvotes & downvotes my own posts have, and how many upvotes & downvotes the comments below my post have. Thanks.

Idk... in the instance I am in, there is no downvotes, only upvotes... so if you must show your displeasure as a user of Hexbear... don't upvote the comment you hate, if not also comment your criticism... (Yeah I can see the downvotes here)

Sometimes, people just downvote like a man thrusting their other...

Would be also interesting to see other people's up and downvotes but only after you voted. That way you'd still vote unbiased while at the same time getting to know how (un)popular of an opinion you have.

I can see the logic of that and I think that should be an option too. Although I wouldn't personally use that (unless what I mentioned wasn't an option and this was)
