I went through the options on the Lemmy and say you can turn off all any display of voting and even the icon for the voting feature. Has you done this? Has it changed your experience of Lemmy?

I use Lemmy a lot to debate or read other people’s perspectives. While content is more important than the vote count, I’m still interested to see what are (un)popular opinions here (knowing that it definitely doesn’t represent the general public!).
Unfortunately, seeing the votes immediately also increases your bias towards posts or comments, so it may have a negative impact on on your individual free thinking.
An ideal compromise for me would be to see how other people voted, but only after I voted myself.
I’m using an app called Thunder and I have voting turned off for posts. For threads I have an up vote arrow when the comments are expanded, but if I collapse them I can see the count, which kind of does what you’re asking? No idea how I managed to get that configured though.
That would be a really cool feature
