I think it’s local and depends on the server. I can’t see Lemmy downvotes from Kbin, but I can see Kbin’s downvotes on Lemmy posts. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it myself.
I think I remember reading some instances just turn off downvoting entirely.
You guys can downvote?
And upvote! I just upvoted your comment. (Memmy on iOS.).
Also I can see your profile has 10 upvotes right now.

With Jerboa, you can downvote
I have Jerboa on /e/ OS and I can’t downvote. But I’m on the reddthat instance (not even sure why) so maybe that plays a role too?
