Yes, BUT I think they only count if your home instance is properly federated with them. If that connection isn’t there, it’s my understanding that your upvotes are only visible to those in your own instance.
I think you can, actually. One instance can have an entirely separate comment section. It’s almost like the users of one instance are shadow banned from the other.
Actually, I think I’m a little wrong: that happens when one instance BLOCKS another, and then you’re commenting on the blocked instance from a THIRD instance? It’s all kinda complicated and I’m not sure I grasp it fully.
Actually I don't think downvotes federate with kbin (I'm not sure about between Lemmy instances?)
Downvotes are not intrinsically part of the ActivityPub standard.
...but yes upvotes federate just fine!
In the current form of the ActivityPub Protocol, downvotes aren't accounted for and thus don't get communicated to other instances, regardless of whether they're kbin or lemmy instances (or any other fediverse frontend).
Additionally, some instances have actively disabled downvotes.
Yes, posts and comments are upvoteable even even not subscribed to their community. Subscribing only affects what content you see when you filter your feed to “subscribed”.
