Introducing Lemvotes
blog.gregtech.eu
I have been working on Lemvotes, a tool to check who voted on a Lemmy post. In this blog post, I will describe how it works and the ethics of such a tool.

Hey johntash. Check out this guy’s project. Lemvotes.
https://blog.gregtech.eu/posts/lemvotes/

I’m not saying we should host it, but let’s get it on the radar. Its a new project in rapid dev, even if we wanted to provide the service, we should wait for a stable rev.

But … this thing bears watching. The guy is using instance-admin level perms to provide data that should be searchable by end users. I foresee some blowback. The dev may need support or a mirror in the future, and my own vote is firmly on their side.

Just check it out, man.

    There’s actually a view votes link in lemmy-ui, but it’s only exposed to admins and mods:

    It’d be nice if it was available to all since I think that’s how some of the other fediverse software does it. Lemvotes still looks pretty convenient though because it can get all of the vote info into one place.
