I don't know it's just a brain fart fantasy at the moment, haven't seriously looked into it. But afaik there is no voting ring detection in Lemmy.
It would still make it near impossible to audit voting behavior from any instance if such practices came into effect. A single instance using that mechanism in a malicious way could seriously manipulate votes and it would be very hard to tell it was happening.
