Why are upvotes blue?

I just noticed this, apologies if this is an old change, but the up vote / down vote colors seem to have swapped.

Upvotes are blue on lemmy. There’s an option to change it back to red if you’re used to the old reddit colours

Oh, okay. I found the option. Just didn’t know that was a thing.

Here’s a link to the option:

Settings shortcut: Theme management > Upvote color

Where did you find out how to link to settings like that? That’s ingenious.

I’ve seen it used elsewhere, then figured out you can long-press any (most?) of the settings to copy the link code, to then be pasted into a comment.

Oh wow, very clever solution.

When you say figured out, you mean just by experimentation? Happened upon it?

I saw it in a comment, then “holding to copy” seemed the most logical way to do it, and one try later than was confirmed.

Ah okay. Thanks for explaining! I think this should be advertised by the app somehow. It’s pretty smart. 🙂
