Just noticed yesterday that I can't downvote anything. Is that an issue with the app or Lemmy itself?

How? Where is your downarrow? I thought it used to be right next to the up arrow,but it's not there no more.

Yeah that's were is it NOW, but earlier it wasn't there. A few days ago it was fine too. Strange.

Does your instance not allow downvoting?

I think there is a bug or edge case with the code that checks if a server allows downvoting. After updating voyager last night, I couldn't downvote any posts on .world with voyager while I could if I just used the website. My thought was that since I updated voyager while lemmy.world had some downtime it may have defaulted the downvotes_enabled setting to false.

Several hours later, it works now.

Yeah I think the request just failed.

I’ll add a workaround for if the request fails

Did you have vote view separated in the PWA, then the default combined in the test light app, so you mean you're missing the downvote button that's also the count?
