    The strange thing is that he got his downvote from someone who was viewing his snap on the music tribe itself, which makes the least sense of all.

      How do you see where the votes come from?

      For posts with links, there's an "analysis" list on the right side of the screen that breaks down the net upvotes by tribe. It's really handy for seeing not only who is viewing your material, but where it's fitting in.

      When a snap is first posted, it'll have a little bar graph thing on the right. A fresh snap with no votes yet looks like this. As people vote on it, the snap keeps track of where those votes come from - if someone sees the snap while browsing their front page, the vote will be added to that bar. If someone downvotes from /t/music, the /t/music bar will decrease. See screenshot of rothelys snap here. This shows that most of his upvotes came from people viewing his snap from their front page or live feed. The empty /t/music bar shows that someone downvoted it on the /t/music page.

      Note: this also affects how the vote counts are displayed. For instance, I have a music video snap that has received two upvotes, screenshot here. However, it didn't receive any of those upvotes from /t/music, so when you go to the /t/music page it doesn't show that it has received any upvotes because within the music tribe, it hasn't. Screenshot here.
