I think it’s local and depends on the server. I can’t see Lemmy downvotes from Kbin, but I can see Kbin’s downvotes on Lemmy posts. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it myself.
I think I remember reading some instances just turn off downvoting entirely.
You can, but I don’t think downvotes get federated to other instances. So even if you downvote on Jerboa, I can’t see it on Kbin. Something about how the Activitypub protocol works.
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]
Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Guy has a face like he used to moderate a jailbait forum.
It’s not me!
I upvoted you to prove that I don’t downvote everything.
Hello again, my dear friend! ;)
TotallyNotMe! Good go see you again, what a nice day not to be Spez, isn’t it?
I most certainly do not!
I most certainly do not!
What a delightfully punchable face.
You guys can downvote?
And upvote! I just upvoted your comment. (Memmy on iOS.).
Also I can see your profile has 10 upvotes right now.

With Jerboa, you can downvote

I downvoted your answer as a test. Can you See it?
Assuming it’s your downvote, I can see one on their post via Memmy. https://i.imgur.com/qRdoY97.png
My Administrator said “As everything else is federated, it would be strange if downvotes are not”
Nope. Got a 0/0.
Edit: gave it another minute to maybe sync, still the same.
Hmmm… strange, so all the people downvoting sit on my Instance…
Yep, that’d be your local squad doing that. All you’ll ever get from me is upvotes or nothing.
I have Jerboa on /e/ OS and I can’t downvote. But I’m on the reddthat instance (not even sure why) so maybe that plays a role too?
Busted!
Fuck /u/spez.
Oh hey, we can say that here without getting banned. Neat.
Ahem…
Oh shit
