Is there a setting that will allow me to view upvotes and downvotes as separate numbers rather than one combined score? This is the one setting in Jerboa that I can't seem to find in Sync. Jerboa:

This missing feature is absolutely crucial for transparency.

Big tech industries are hiding downvotes, which obfuscates the true value of shared content in the eyes of the users. I was excited to see Lemmy natively going against this trend, and saddened to see that it's not featured in sync (yet?).

Sync for reddit had a % value that mentioned the ratio of Upvotes to downvotes and that also served a similar purpose.

From an user experience point of view showing downvotes separately can result in more negative votes but the feature is useful for transparency nonetheless.
