I’ve finally swapped from lemmy.world for my main account, but I’ve noticed that some instances don’t show downvotes (blahaj.zone). I completely understand their rationale behind it, but for posts, I need it, as it conveys when something is misleading (like a YSK post a couple days ago, with 1.1k upvotes, but the downvotes were 300 on lemmy.world). I would like to use that as my main account, but it would be nice to pull in the upvote/downvote info from another account that I’m logged into for that post. I know I can change accounts easily when commenting, so that may be what I do for a while, but I’ll have to manage subscriptions to be the same across both accounts if I’m ever wanting to comment on my PC.

For now until that’s a possibility, this is my main account.

It's not possible, sorry. You should voice your concerns with your instance admin, and/or don't use that instance if no downvotes is a dealbreaker

That's not anything to do with the app, that's a federation issue.

The instance has downvotes disabled and hidden.

The feature request is that the app should be able to retrieve the upvotes and downvotes via another account that I’m logged into.

Just use a different instance

Yea, that’s what I’m doing with sh.itjust.works. I just wish the fediverse gave options for users to show/hide downvotes so I just use my blahaj.zone account.
