Yes, BUT I think they only count if your home instance is properly federated with them. If that connection isn’t there, it’s my understanding that your upvotes are only visible to those in your own instance.
This is sort of incorrect depending on what you mean by “properly federated”. Lemmy instances don’t actually filter AP messages except for from blocked instances. So if you found some way to send an ActivityPub “Like” without actually viewing or subscribing, it would indeed still count. Keep in mind, Lemmy isn’t the only software that can create and publish “Like” activities.
I think you can, actually. One instance can have an entirely separate comment section. It’s almost like the users of one instance are shadow banned from the other.
Actually, I think I’m a little wrong: that happens when one instance BLOCKS another, and then you’re commenting on the blocked instance from a THIRD instance? It’s all kinda complicated and I’m not sure I grasp it fully.
Actually I don’t think downvotes federate with kbin (I’m not sure about between Lemmy instances?)
Downvotes are not intrinsically part of the ActivityPub standard.
…but yes upvotes federate just fine!
In the current form of the ActivityPub Protocol, downvotes aren’t accounted for and thus don’t get communicated to other instances, regardless of whether they’re kbin or lemmy instances (or any other fediverse frontend).
Additionally, some instances have actively disabled downvotes.
Downvoted your comment just to test, they do get federated, though I couldn’t see it in your kbin instance cause I’m not logged on. But on sopuli.xyz (top level comment instance) and lemmy.world (post instance), your comment had 0. They’re created as “Dislike” activities in AP which is not exactly an agreed upon standard but other Lemmy instances recognise it.
Yes, posts and comments are upvoteable even even not subscribed to their community. Subscribing only affects what content you see when you filter your feed to “subscribed”.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community space dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All posts titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That’s it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content. Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Surely you couldn’t be viewing the post while logged in to upvote if your instance wasn’t federated…

It’s a common misconception, but you can view any post in the fediverse. You are not able to interact with any defederated instance.
Of course.
You can vote on posts in the local and all feed just fine.

They do count.
