You’ll see the upvotes from all federated instances. Downvotes are not federated evenly. Kbin is like that, I assume fedia.io is the same. I don’t see the downvotes I get on Lemmy instances. Sometimes that’s a good thing.
Hell, sometimes even posts don’t federate. There was a period of a few days where Lemmy.World’s federation was messed up, and all my posts here from that period are some of the least-upvoted in this community. I figure those posts just never made it outside of Lemmy.World, or at least past anyone not directly browsing the community.
Like, I thought this post was pretty good, but it only got a handful of votes, and only a few of the comments were from accounts outside Lemmy.World.
I don’t think so. You see the votes from all federated instances which can still differ
Are you sure? I occasionally see people complain about downvotes while having 0 downvotes.

Federation is pretty buggy and very often you just won’t see eg. votes or even comments from federated instances even when you should be seeing them

Oh yeah definitely, I don’t know why I left posts out because the same problem affects everything that’s supposed to be federated
I run my own instance for just my self and I see different counts.
