Solved - User Error: Upvoting/Downvoting No Longer Works

I've been using Sync for Lemmy in conjunction with this Lemmy.world account since it first hit the Play store on Android.

For the last month or so, I can no longer successfully upvote or downvote posts or comments within the app. This seems to have been around the time or shortly after the votes changed colors from orange/blue to blue/red for a general time reference; I'm not suggesting that update broke anything, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Anyone else have this problem?

Solution: I had enabled the setting indicating my account as a bot account. I mistakenly thought this meant I wanted to view bot posts, not that I was indicating my account as a bot account.

Thanks all, glad things are working as intended!

The only time upvotes seem to stick is on my own posts.
- From what I can tell it's instance based. I believe some have disabled voting altogether.
  
  For reference and testing. I'm also on sync and I'll downvote both your top post here and this comment as well as my own.
  
  Another reason to get off world. I figured it could be something like that.
  
  Anyone else on Lemmy.world experiencing this on this app?

- It was the bot setting... Thanks for pointing that out.
  
  I guess I thought toggling that on meant I wanted to view bot posts, not that I was indicating this account as a bot account.
  
  Thanks!
Your account is marked as a bot and bots cannot vote.
