I naturally upvote myself when I post, because naturally I agree 100% with every single thing I say – without exception. Lemmy devs know this, so the client is coded to automatically upvote my own posts.
Now most of my upvotes for myself are gone. Interestingly, they are not 100% gone. A minority of them seem to have persisted, as well as my upvotes for others. I have no idea what extent the voting data was lost, or if my votes on content of other SDF locals was lost.
Hey, this is once again related to the restored lost content. From between May 2026-circa October 2025.
As far as i can tell, the only lost upclicks are on the content you yourself posted, in that time period, but I haven’t really investigated further. Your upclicks on external posts (outside sdf) were definitely unaffected though.
One other thing you might notice is that comment threads are broken, all comments and replies appear as top comments.
