Based on a true story:
You know what everyone knows, but nobody is willing to say? People with even numbered birthdays are responsible for all of society's ills.

MODERATORS
Is this some reference I am not familiar with?
Afaik voting is not federated so you always just see the "local reaction".
I don't think so. You see the votes from all federated instances which can still differ
that doesnt sound right at all
It definitely is, but there are several instances which do not federate downvotes
If the community's server does not track downvotes, then indeed, everyone just sees downvotes by users local to their home instance. Otherwise, downvotes work the same as upvotes - that is, somewhat reliably - unless your frontend or user instance hides them but that's your problem.
The post and comment votes do federate, but it's not particularly reliable. No clue why though. That's a bit outside my wheelhouse and there is nothing in the documentation about post voting.
Another user explained why I likely saw the discrepancy. Though, aside from that, federation generally is very much wonky and unreliable unfortunately.
It massively improved after v18, as it introduced the federation queue. Instances now actually check if activities get successfully federated and keep trying, if not.
They will still give up in some cases, though.
