I think you're just seeing @serfraser@sopuli.xyz's downvote, they're on your same instance and commented below that they also downvoted.

As I was able to confirm, looks like anyone else on the same instance can see my downvotes. But not anyone on any other instance, even if they have downvotes too.
Okay so I've confirmed it.
When downvoting content on an instance that doesn't allow downvotes, you can see only the downvotes that come from other users on your instance. I can see two downvotes now, which happened just after I used a second account to downvote.
Downvoted as well. Looks like no since other people have also downvoted you and you're still at 1
I'll have to test- maybe other users on my instance can see my downvotes, but they won't federate because BeeHaw rejects them. And therefore no other instance can see them.
Well you're a beehaw user. I'm not, and I can actually downvote things here. I'm just not sure if it actually effects anything.
How does it work if a user on another instance (that has downvotes enabled) downvotes comments on BeeHaw.org communities? Are they ignored? Can other instances see them?
Same here - https://lemmy.rogers-net.com
Looking to keep mine small like 100 users (I'll see how much resources that takes, then decide if I want more) so I don't incur large bills but want to do my part. Not really anticipating any real "local" community but since everything is federated, you can always subscribe to any communities on any other instances and just live in your "Subscribed" tab, fully enjoying the Lemmy experience like any big instance. And of course users on other instances can use a community you set up here.
Federates with NSFW servers (that don't have abhorrent content, I defederated/blocked burggit), if that's something you're looking for.
Well I'm not sure how you expect that to work... especially moderation/rules wise.
Yeah it would be cool if we didn't have to see the instance name but I don't think it's too big a deal. Just subscribe to the better one and never worry about it.
It's all managed through ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)

Are more simple explanation to your question: https://www.thesitewizard.com/domain/register-with-icann-sans-middlemen.shtml
Oh I don't think it's quite ready for everyday use, it works okay for a bit of scrolling. But the dev is updating it pretty often and wants to get everything working (at least the basics) by the end of the month
You'd be surprised how fast Mlem is coming along.
But for now just open the home page of your instance in Safari, hit "share" then "add to Home Screen" works okay

Eh?
I like their DNS management and the fact that they only charge the minimum fee to renew domains. But I don't use their DDoS protection or proxy services or anything.
