Sometimes when I look around in communities hosted on instances with downvotes disabled, there’s still the occasional comment with a negative score. Does it only count downvotes from people on your instance, or is there some other magic going on?
Rule 3: this place is not for support questions
Just curious, where is the right place for this kind of question? I understand this community is more aligned with r/AskReddit than a support community but where should users post this kind of question?
The communities are listed in the sidebar
If you’re a user of an insurance with downvotes disabled, you’re not able to downvote anything anywhere even on other instances, and you’re not able to see downvotes on anything from anywhere even other instances. Users from other instances can downvote on your content and content from others from your instance or posted from users from other instances on communities from other instances but are only visible to users from instances with downvotes enabled.
This has some unexpected effects besides only “hiding” the downvotes on your user interface, this affects sorting a little differently in those instances.
