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.

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 ๐Ÿคท

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.
