Is just the same as lemmy? What makes it different? Is it similar to kbin? Why is it meant to be better according so some people?

    How exactly does the private vote thing work? I thought votes being federated was inherent to the way the fediverse is designed.

      I believe piefed creates fake accounts to do the voting so it doesn’t federate the actual account that cast the vote.

        That’s how it used to work but I got rid of it because there were too many unintended side-effects. Now a private vote is just one that is not federated.

          What were the side-effects? I was thinking of implementing something that doesn’t directly federate votes, so it would be good to know what problems I’d need to solve before that can be done.
