I think blocking downvotes is an option built into Lemmy servers that can be communicated through the API. I know there are a decent amount of instances that don’t federate downvotes because of toxicity concerns.
For me, the Boost Lemmy app let me downvote even though my instance has it disabled… It just quietly failed and when I go back the downvote isn’t there.
The Jerboa and Voyager apps, on the other hand, don’t: Voyager let’s you try but correctly shows an error, while Jerboa flat out doesn’t offer it since I can’t anyway
You can down vote on lemmy?
lemmy.one has disabled downvotes, it’s up to admins of each instance if they allow viewing and making downvotes.

I use the Voyager web app via lemmy.one and it does not.

Maybe the Lemmy instance I use blocks down votes?

mine for sure.
I can downvote on kbin. I haven’t find a nice, beautiful and simple app for it like Thunder for Lemmy, though.
