I know the points are there and are saved, but why are they not visible on our profile, as a shit poster these points are my applause, my credit, my holy absolutely useless internet points, I love them. So have they be abandoned in the first place?

The votes you see are on your instance, every up and down vote is a federated activity and recorded in each instances database (that are subscribed to the community)

I think that's what I said, so I have to ask where I'm misunderstanding this. Can you point me to a github or some documentation so that I can better understand?

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe this is a case of just agreeing with each other. I just wanted to clarify that all votes are individually federated and not some aggregate vote total between instances.

Ah ok I misunderstood then. Yes that's how I understand it as well. I'm always open to learning more about it though. It's still young tech and can move fast.
