It is stored, obv, but where? Where my likes come from when I see the same post?
Why do you assume it's stored? All AP/Lemmy needs to do (at the thread level) is increment counters. Your history tracks what you have upvoted so the data could be reconstructed if you parsed each user's history. But in a federated system that's nigh impossible.
It is stored. I can see everyone that upvoted and downvoted your comment by looking into my database right now.
It has to be, actually. Otherwise you could easily use the API to keep upvoting the same post or comment over and over.
It also needs to show me how I voted in the UI. It's stored somewhere.
@Bishma I am on kbin. If you upvote my comment I can go into 'activity' and get a username list of everyone, from any instance, that upvoted me. The data is obviously there.
