    I also have my own instance. But it feels so lonely being the only one on a sever haha. That being said, do you know if upvotes and downvotes are also federated? In fact, I’m using jerboa on beehaw and I don’t think I see any upvote / downvote metrics

      beehaw disabled downvotes, but other instances haven’t. the sidebar said disabled downvotes encourages more active discussion, and prevents unpopular opinions from being silenced by a flood of downvotes. they want people to engage by saying “i disagree with you, here’s why” instead of passively downvoting and moving on.

      you should be able to see you the upvotes on your comments though.

      Fairly sure upvotes/downvotes on my comments have been federated into my instance. I can’t see it on Lemmy’s webUI but it appears via the mlem app.
