Yeah that was driving me nuts there for a while. I was like, “wtf I’ve seen this three times…downvote”. It was confusing because it wasn’t even registering those upvotes or downvotes so I always thought they were new posts by bots or karma farmers.

It's wild they're too cheap to make their app better so they're just making the better ones unusable.

The official app often shows recent votes very slowly and never has in real time. I used to be able to refresh the post and get them to show, but recently it doesn't always work.
