Why are a given user's upvotes & downvotes publicly viewable? - Lemmy Today

I have been using lemmy for a while now (since Reddit’s API issues) and just recently discovered this website: https://lemvotes.org/user/ [https://lemvotes.org/user/] Seems I can simply input any user and I get their whole history of upvotes and downvotes, with dates and links. I also tried it with a Piefed user and it worked. Kind of a deal breaker for me. Don’t feel comfortable even upvoting when these details are public to anyone.

Cache management and media streaming issue... - Lemmy Today

I scrolled through a community which contains lots of gifs (videos) and saw strange behavior. I see that the videos take a while to load, then when they finally load they are fully playable (no buffering).

Then I checked my phone storage and see that mlem storage went from ~300mb usage to 2.3gb [https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/0814c4db-adeb-4b97-9026-c47a520a55dc.png] I thought I could simply clear the cache using mlem’s option, but doesn’t appear to see it at all (as it only reports 13.3mb) [https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/9ef8eeef-3e75-4ff4-b133-78a59b27022d.png] So the overall issue is that if we scroll through a community that has media, it takes a long time to load, and the cache size can spiral out of control…
