I think it's just not implemented because the devs didn't know it was an important feature to prioritize. It does supposed saved posts, which I imagine is what the devs anticipated was most useful for users.

Gotta keep in mind we're just about to get 0.19.0, it's not even v1 yet so a lot of things are still missing.

But yes the data exists, in fact I have the vote history of everyone my instance has seen in the communities I'm subscribed to.

I upvoted this post and maybe I'll see it again once the feature is implemented. :)

thanks for the tech details. It sucks that there's no endpoint for upvotes (yet). I find favorites/saved and upvoted to be distinctly different at least the way I use it. Upvotes communicate to me (and others) that content is of value or that I agree with it. However Saved/Favorite may mean that I disagree with content but I'd like to keep reference for future times. That latter is a private info too so nobody benefits from me "saving" that content other than myself.

TLDR; I'd have to get used to hitting upvote and "save" buttons on content of interest and learn to filter through my "saved" stuff while devs are comming up with endpoints for upvotes.

funny thing is: "Eternity" looks like it shows totals for my upvotes on posts/comments but not showing what those are

Not sure who'll read this, but I'd love to be able to browse posts I upvoted (as is doable on Reddit).

Hopefully, it'll be implemented since Lemmy is still in its infancy, like another poster said

Edit: fixed grammar
