    For other users just be aware vote count can vary based on the instance you’re on and where the post is. For example, with this post in the image I only see it has ~300 but if I view it on its origin instance lemmy.ml I can see the ~1k count. Similar things happen with other Fediverse services like Mastodon with favorites/boosts.

    Just pointing this out as it isn’t obvious and helps put less focus on these things when viewing content not from your own instance.

      I have noticed that I get the correct vote balance if I interact with it from my instance - ie upvote/downvote. Feels like a bug that will get sorted over time.

      That’s interesting. I’m guessing here, but is that because votes from blocked servers aren’t federated? I feel like having different vote totals depending on which server you’re on is a little strange, but maybe it makes sense 🤷
