But due to the way Lemmy works, votes cannot be completely private. Instance admins can see the names of everyone who voted on a given post or comment, and community moderators can see the names for the communities they moderate. This helps to fight against vote manipulation. Additionally, individual votes are federated over ActivityPub together with the corresponding username. This means that other federated platforms can freely choose how to display vote information, even going as far as publicly displaying individual votes.
