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.
I have Jerboa on /e/ OS and I can't downvote. But I'm on the reddthat instance (not sure why) so maybe that plays a role too?
OK its more complicated. I can downvote when I view replies in my inbox. But I cant downvote when I view replies in my profile of when browsing posts in channels.
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.

And upvote! I just upvoted your comment. (Memmy on iOS.).

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"
TimeSquirrel@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Nope. Got a 0/0.
Edit: gave it another minute to maybe sync, still the same.
produnis@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 3y
Hmmm... strange, so all the people downvoting sit on my Instance...
TimeSquirrel@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Yep, that'd be your local squad doing that. All you'll ever get from me is upvotes or nothing.
