Leaving a reaction emoji automatically causes an upvote to be given to the post, even if I’ve already downvoted the post.
I don’t know if this behaviour is intentional or a side-effect of the reaction not being a first-class supported feature of lemmy, but could this be fixed? It means sometimes I have upvoted posts that are objectionable simply because I left a reaction emoji on them.
Thanks!


That’s because Piefed overloads the
Likeactivity to federate the emojis: https://join.piefed.social/2026/04/05/how-piefed-federates-emoji-reactions/This could be enhanced by optionally using the
Dislikeactivity or perhaps instead use the Pleroma-style EmojiReactions: https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/issues/5425Edit: https://piefed.social/comment/9366765
