Hello,
we will be performing the long awaited update to Lemmy 0.19.9 tomorrow.
We are planning for around 1 hour of downtime between 16:00-17:00 UTC on 16th of March.
You can convert this to your local time here: https://inmytime.zone/?iso=2025-03-16T16%3A00%3A00.000Z
You can find an overview of the changes in our previous announcement here and in the Lemmy release notes:
Are the comment upvote and downvote numbers gone intentionally?
There are now settings to display or hide them
That’s cool, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I have all on in my settings:
But the numbers don’t show:
Apparently they’re next to the timestamp now (you can see the “↑ 4” on your screenshot, and if you sort this post’s comments by Best, the Futurama meme shows as “↑ 87 ↓ 1”)
You’re right, thanks!
Don’t feel bad. I had that exact same back and forth with myself.
I was also half asleep, high, and pooping, and I still figured it out on my own…so maybe feel a LITTLE bit bad.
Congratulations.
I find the new spot for the numbers a bit wierd, because they end up in different places according to the lenght of the username and other info like instance name.
I might be a bit confused, but I just went to my settings to see, and both “show upvotes” and “show downvotes” were ticked already, by default. I refreshed the page (Ctr+Shift+R), and it’s still the same.

Aaaah, I get it now, thanks! I did see the “↑ 4” bits everywhere, but it turns out that every single comment I have looked at had 0 downvotes, and then instead of going ”↓ 0”, it just simply doesn’t display downvotes. I thought I was going mad.
I liked the previous implementation, though. To me it seemed more clear.
I vastly preferred the old way as well - you are not alone.
