Is there a way to display total upvotes and total downvotes by the arrows like it was before the update? I don’t care for the new way it displays up in the total score.

    I just got the update yesterday and I hate this new setting. I like to know if people are downvoting things I’ve posted! Seeing a post that just shows 3 total upvotes and nothing else is much different than seeing that my post got 25 upvotes and 22 downvotes. This changes the entire vibe of the app and kind of makes me just not want to bother posting anymore…

    I’ve actually added 4 different new vote display modes, but will wait for my back end PR before adding them as a setting. Until then I’ll probably use a sane default, ie score and upvote percentage, like I see most other lemmy front ends using.

      Could you make the previous mode an option too? Having both upvotes and downvotes visible is less mentally taxing than trying to calculate upvotes from percentages or downvotes, and the up/down buttons are natural positions for such text. And perhaps an option for both that and the percentage too

          I agree with @Lojcs@lemm.ee, I didn’t find it messy at all, it seemed very intuitive to have the number of upvotes and downvotes next to their respective arrows, with the score in the top left.

          I completely understand if you don’t want this to be default, but I’d really like to keep it as an option I can choose for my own viewing.

          Idk if I should write that on github but I don’t think the previous layout was messy. It worked well.
