Why are vote counts different for some comments ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

on some comments, the number of votes is different when I view them from this instance vs when I open them in their respective instances.

one more thing I've noticed is that some comments have 0 vote on this instance but in reality have 1 vote mostly from other lemmy instances like lemmy.world and kbin.social

I'm guessing this has something to do with federation ?

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

is there no way to view correct number of votes except for going to the instance the comment is from ?

I don't even think that would be "correct" because what if I up vote on my instance and it doesn't immediately sync to the posts host instance?
