I just started using voyager. It shows net upvotes (or downvotes) on a post. Eg, if a post had 20 upvotes and 5 downvotes, it appears to just be showing 15 upvotes, which is the net of the two. Is there somewhere I can see the separate vote counts?

I implemented this and am working on getting it merged. See https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/pull/185.

I find that what is displayed affects how I feel and what action I am likely to take. When downvotes are displayed separately and prominently (e.g. lemmy builtin frontend) I am less likely to downvote a comment I find lacking as long as it appears to be in good faith, instead I will skip to and upvote other, better comments below so they “rise up”. When downvotes are hidden (e.g. Apollo and current Voyager) I am more likely to treat downvote as “disagree” to “push it down.”

Well said.
Obscuring downvotes also obscures community reaction. Knowing how many people reacted negatively is useful.

Better yet…. Can we have the option to NOT see upvotes and downvotes?

I implemented this in the same pull request as the main post, and am working on getting it merged. See https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/pull/185.

On this note, can we not have a karma total on our profile please? It's bad enough I need to see the amount of comments.

Might be an appearance option they are working on. When I tap on the post to view comments it shows the favorability as a percentage next to the vote button. Just doesn’t show up on main feed with other posts. I’m noticing more features are becoming available as updates patch through.

I found this weird on desktop too. On straight mobile you see upvote downvote. On desktop I see only the difference. Tis a weird choice.

Yeah, IDK about the other federated reddit clones but Lemmy lets you see the number of downvotes
