E.g. If I were to share an image of a doggo on lemmy.world and then people from sh.itjust.works upvote it, will it count those upvotes? The answer to this one seems pretty easy to reason that it would be yes.
But what about if i’m on lemmy.world and am subscribed to [email protected] and I see it in my “subscribed” feed? Does this reflect total points across the lemmiverse or will this just show upvotes from lemmy.world?
They’re always counted in fedirated servers, but the server chooses if their shown. They can also defedirate and reduce outside intervention, like beehaw, but now they’re isolated.
All that being said, if the user account you’re using is stored on a popular server, you may just be struggling with the recent stress of the reddit moving to centralized, general servers (which lemmy is not built for).
