The original Dislike activity (https://endlesstalk.org/activities/dislike/e1f82f6a-d49b-4dab-b444-36c382f13c5a) has a record at endlesstalk.org, but the Like object’s activity that’s been undone doesn’t (https://endlesstalk.org/activities/like/1f0b6132-547e-4fb5-8313-6f7b7f31be6b just returns ‘No record found’)

I got the same results when I tried this from lemmy.world (but I thought I’d try again from a 0.19 instance)

I found some references to this at the GitHub, but they were issues that were closed off as being fixed, so I don’t know what the situation is with this now.

    Internally it’s even stored as a vote of either +1 or -1, so sending an undislike of a like probably also results in the vote’s removal. Lemmy just sums up all the votes and you have the score.

    A like and a dislike activity are also contradictory, so even if you don’t unlike something, if you send a dislike it replaces the like as well.

      Exactly, that’s why to me this makes complete sense to me. An unlike is just resetting the score to zero or deleting the score altogether.
