I read on reddit that on Lemmy you can see users' upvote/downvote history. I therefore expected to be able to see upvote/downvote breakdown by user for my own comments. But couldn't find this. Does this feature exist or is that a myth?

What if the post is edited at a later time? Then all those votes become invalid. It's not practical with the way ActivityPub is designed. Honestly, it's designed the way it is for a reason... if you aren't willing to own your participation on a public forum, you shouldn't be on a public forum.

Why would editing do that? I was talking about using the ids which wouldn't change on an edit.

In any case, I don't have a problem with this info being federated. Some people do, so it's worth talking about ways it could be done.

Because using a hash based on elements in the post would change on an edit is why I said that

I was suggesting (I actually clearly said it in both comments) hashing the post/comment ID + userid NOT the content. Just enough info to get a unique ID. We don't need it not to be non-reversible. Just a unique ID for the like.
