Vote totals on arrows?

Is there a way to display total upvotes and total downvotes by the arrows like it was before the update? I don't care for the new way it displays up in the total score.

I just got the update yesterday and I hate this new setting. I like to know if people are downvoting things I've posted! Seeing a post that just shows 3 total upvotes and nothing else is much different than seeing that my post got 25 upvotes and 22 downvotes. This changes the entire vibe of the app and kind of makes me just not want to bother posting anymore...
It still does. You only see them separately if there's both up and down votes.
- Doesn't anymore on mine that just updated.
  
  I'm seeing it on this very post.
- There seems to be a bug. Sometimes the numbers only show after using them.
- 0.60 shows them next round the total count, and not always
Bring back please
I've actually added 4 different new vote display modes, but will wait for my back end PR before adding them as a setting. Until then I'll probably use a sane default, ie score and upvote percentage, like I see most other lemmy front ends using.
- Could you make the previous mode an option too? Having both upvotes and downvotes visible is less mentally taxing than trying to calculate upvotes from percentages or downvotes, and the up/down buttons are natural positions for such text. And perhaps an option for both that and the percentage too
  
  I opened up an issue about this here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues/1400 .
- showing all votes was my main reason to use jerboa over the others. it'd be preferable if it were a toggle.
