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.
That sounds reasonable to me! Would explain why the mobile app has it and the web app doesn't; I don't know if a Lemmy instance has a way to advertise the functions it supports to third party apps.
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
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.
