How does this downvote federate to my instance when the instance of the comm the post is on doesn't allow downvotes?

So my understanding is that non-local communities receive interactions from other instances, then the host instance relays those interactions to all subscribed instances.

It’s also my understanding that when an instance disables downvoting, it also doesn’t relay downvotes onward.

So how do I see this?

This is the scenario:

  1. A hexbear.net user posts to a hexbear.net community [downvotes disabled], which gets relayed to all subscribed instances like mine (thelemmy.club) and mander.xyz, etc.
  2. A mander.xyz user sees it and downvotes it, which is sent to Hexbear
  3. Hexbear receives the downvote and discards it (or at least, I always assumed so)

If it had been one of the local users of thelemmy.club I could understand seeing it, as it would be recorded in our local database. But how am I seeing a foreign downvote on a Hexbear community?

have no problem hanging out for 15+ min at a station, but I won’t do it every 2-3 hours because that’s all I’ve got.

And there’s me planning a 2000mi road trip in my '22 Bolt next month lmao. It’ll add several hours to my trip as each stop is 30min-1hr

(The old model Bolts charge pretty slow compared to most modern EVs - 50kw max.)

If I had a Hyundai or something similarly fast charging it would cut my trip by ~5 hours each way. But I almost never take trips over 300mi by car. A few times a decade, maybe.

I just have it copied to an external HDD and also daily sync to cloud B2 storage (encrypted) while the main copy of the media lives on the SSD.

I never have to touch it unless there’s a failure… I should have a versioned backup on the HDD in that case. Unless there’s a fire or something and both are destroyed in which case I should be able to pull them from the cloud storage.

It’s all just automated cron jobs requires no effort on my part beyond setting it up.
