It seems that a lot of new people have learned about these platforms from a popular post on Reddit. We currently see 78 notifications (and counting) and a pile of applications on piefed.ca too many registration applications for me to keep this up to date.

I am pinning this thread on both platforms for new users to pop in to and ask questions. Please give them a warm welcome!

Please let us know how we can help! For example, here are some tips on finding communities: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities The guide says Lemmy, but the steps are the same on Piefed

Since a lot of people arrived here from r/BuyCanadian, maybe you will be interested in !buycanadian@lemmy.ca

    None of that applies, I’m using the default theme, I haven’t changed addons on firefox for a long time, literally just woke up one day and they were gone.
    It’s not about refreshing because I completely deleted the cookies and cached content from here (hence how I saw that while logged out the downvote arrow was there again).
    Already checked on my pc and it’s the same so it’s not a local device thing.

        On both Photon and Blorp I can see the downvote button, but it gets reverted when I press it or whenever I refresh it’s as if I never downvoted at all.
        I still can’t see them on default PieFed.ca

          Interesting, I’m going to try and ban + unban your account in case that helps. You’ve likely already tried this but is the problem limited to a particular user/post/community or does it happen everywhere. Can you try downvoting this comment?

          I’ll also tag a Piefed maintainer in this thread to see if there is something else we should be looking in to.
