I tended to use upvotes on reddit as a way to save them for quick access later for reference or sharing. It was as easy as going to my profile and clicking the drop down to see my upvoted posts. I don’t have a way to do this in Connect.
Iirc there is a save button
There is, that’s not the point of my request though. Just one way I was using it.
I guess I am misunderstanding your usecase, I don’t know why one wouldn’t use save to save posts
You never revisit posts you upvote?
The usecase is that you want to support the OP’s posts while also saving them for the future. Pressing both buttons for all the posts that you like is not intuitive.
Some users have 2 priorities of saved messages as neither Lemmy nor Reddit support lists in Saved Posts which something like Instagram has.
One priority is just to have a history of posts that amused you. You upvote them. (memes fit this) And other is actually saving them for future reference. (Articles, Opinions, etc.)
It is a nightmare trying to find some critical information but first sifting through all the memes and shitposts. So this feature is highly needed to make Lemmy atleast somewhat useful for me.
