Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.

Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

Can’t the other instances see what you saw via federation? Or does a self hosted lemmy instance federate all comments from all threads once it knows about a server?

Only in subscribed communities, but yes.
