Welcome!
Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.
And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ค๐

I'm not sure it's really possible to make votes private (at least not without sacrificing some functionality we have now.) Right now, instance admins can see vote information while non-admjns can't, which I do think is a bad thing. It does create a privileged class with additional information that ordinary users don't get. If there was a way to make votes private, I'd probably be ok with that, but again I'm not sure that's possible. (Instances have to be able to prevent double-/triple-/etc voting on a single post/comment by a single user. Maybe there's some cryptographic blind-signature wizardry that could be used to accomplish that while denying instance runners access to the information. I want to say I might have even come up with such an approach in a previous post and I might look back through my history for it, but it might also involve some concessions functionality-wise.) If that information has to be open to some, though, I think it should be open to all.
Aside from that, I like the upvote/downvote system as it is. It's simple works nicely. I honestly use "new"/"all" sort (excluding the communities I've blocked) nearly exclusively, so I don't have all that much invested in the "hot" sorting option that is the default probably on most Lemmy instances. But I like not having an algorithm (even one as good and fair as Lemmy's) curating my content for me.
Oh! On the sorting front, though, I'd love to have a "boost" option for specific communities. Like "hey Lemmy, no matter what sort I use, make sure any post that was made to !underwater_beekeeping@lemmy.beans in the last 48 hours always appears right at the top of my feed." Like, new/all (excluding blocks) is great, but there are communities I don't want to miss even a single post in ever and it'd be awesome to have that.
Actually, now that I think of it, I could just only subscribe to those "don't want to miss a single post" communities and check new/subscribed before I start doomscrolling new/all.
You can also set up to receive a "Notification" for a community... or a user, or a post (besides your own), or a comment - the Notifications feature is fantastic!
I like your idea better though, bc tbh receiving the notifications can quickly get overwhelming for a community that has many posts per day.
Where's this "notification feature"? I'm more interested in community notifications than user, post, or comment notifications. But I'm looking at the community page and at my settings section and I'm not seeing anything about community notification settings. I can join/leave a community, of course, but it sounds like that's not what you're talking about. (I'm looking at Lemmy-UI at the moment. I use Jerboa on my phone, but it's honestly a little limited in a few ways, so I'd be surprised to find those settings in Jerboa.) Are you talking about the "send notifications to email" feature?
Ah no, this is just one more of the now quite many things that PieFed has that Lemmy lacks. Sorry I didn't explain the context there.
PieFed takes some getting used to, bc it has so very many options to choose from. Most likely if you check it out, you'll immediately fall in love:-). Possibly even before making an account, although the notifications feature will ofc need an account to work.
Notifications specifically are the bell icon that appears all over the place - in this case next to the community name way up at the top.
Ah! Gotcha. Thanks for the info.
