Are upvotes/downvotes supposed to federate? Even between lemmy/kbin instances?

As an example, I have this post. On my instance the.coolest.zone, it has 3 upvotes.

The post federated to lemmy.ml as this post, and currently has 37 upvotes.

Am I missing something? I'd totally expect those upvote counts to be shown on my instance as well.

  • Votes are weird. I'm commenting on this post on lemmy.dbzer0.com, and the vote counter shows 13. But when I mouse over it, it says 167 points - 167 upvotes - 0 downvotes.

    On its original instance, kbin.social, I see that it has 6 "favourites."

    Coming back to the dbzer0 tab, the point total now says 2 and mousing over shows 13 points - 13 upvotes - 0 downvotes. That sounds more reasonable, but where did the other number come from? Why doesn't the displayed number match the mouseover text? Who knows!

    • Oh, so it is supposed to work that way. Now thats interesting.
      Sorry I'm relatively new to this multiverse thing (fediverse?)

      • I don't know if it's "supposed" to work this way so much as it's just kind of janky right now. ^^;;
