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

    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 …
