I’m often in the position that I want to refer to an old post. I try to scroll through the feed but often give up before finding what I was looking for because I’m fed up as I don’t remember the community. It might even have been on another platform like mastodon.

On mastodon and pixelfed you can view your favorites and likes, respectively, but I can’t seem to find the equivalent button in lemmy. A hacky workaround would also work for me.

thanks

      True, thanks! On my mobile client (Arctic) it’s in the top right corner when I go on my profile. I’m mostly on desktop, though, and use the web client. I’ll check out the link from the other post.

    The API provides it, which means that many of the clients will also have a way of displaying them.

    Your instance provides an alternative UI via the ‘Photon’ client at https://p.feddit.org/ - you can use this on desktop to view your profile and select the ‘Upvoted’ view.

    The command-line equivalent would be
    curl --header 'authorization: Bearer LOGIN_TOKEN' 'https://feddit.org/api/v3/post/list?liked_only=true&page=1&limit=50' | jq .posts[].post.id | xargs -I {} echo "https://feddit.org/post/%7B%7D"
    but it’s nowhere near as convenient as getting a client to do it for you.

    The other site mentioned - https://lemvotes.org/ - doesn’t use the API and is a bit controversial: it tends to be used to see who else voted for a post, and isn’t guaranteed to be a reliable way to show what posts you personally voted for.

      wow yes thanks! photon would be exactly what I am looking for, but strangely enough it doesn’t display any images from other instances - neither community “profile pictures” nor images in posts or comments. Is this intended behaviour, does anybody else experience this?

      EDIT: unblocking javaScript from various lemmy instances resolved the issue for me. Interesting that I only have to unblock feddit.org’s javaScript to see all images and with photon all javaScripts …
