Kbin only shows favorites. They don’t show actual upvotes/downvotes (which is a good thing IMHO).
But it’s not like you would check anything properly before opening your mouth…
No. The reduces tab is what downvotes are registered as. Not all instances are in sync so it records what it can as opposed to only kbin users. That’s the nature of decentralization so votes will be different from instance to instance.
Anyways, I downvoted your comment as a example and you should see my username pop up. It’s public on kbin.
Edit: I think that this feature is id-walled for kbin users. Which is good, it’s already potentially problematic enough that the entire Lemmy content is fully “crawl-able” without limitation by OpenAI and other less-desirable content crawlers; it would be really problematic if votes were unconditionally public.
It can be viewed without an account might be the url being a problem. But, you can go to kbin and then click “more” then “activity” for any comment or thread to look through what kbin was able to register when it comes to user votes.
I am not running an instance, and am not familiar with the synchronization delay, but this seems unexpectedly long (the downvotes for this post started immediately as I posted it - more than 24 hours ago, so it’s very surprising to see nothing on kbin).
kbin and lemmy has sometimes been problematic when it comes to synchronizing content. Sometimes threads don’t even show up on kbin or lemmy if the opposite userbase attempts to make a thread. Same for lemmy and lemmy instances too where some comments will show up and others don’t. Even more inconsistencies with how instances will have different defederation lists. This makes votes appear inconsistent from instances to instances and even more so for instances that deactivated downvotes.
Checking it appears that kbin only registers upvotes from kbin and lemmy instances now and only downvotes from kbin users publicly. Wonder if this is a decision kbin made or something was done on lemmy end to keep downvotes of lemmy users from being registered by kbin.

There was even an amusing situation where a mod went into a users profile and downvoted that users comments and everyone could see it.

Relax and take a breath.
