Posts and comments are federated (synchronised). Upvotes are actually a bit of a fudge, they are actually 'Favourites' if considered from an activity pub (e.g. Mastodon) perspective, and yes favourites are also federated.
Downvotes don't exist in activity pub and, as a result, they do not federate between instances.
At least that is my understanding.

And here I am amused to be reading all the Lemmy centric replies to a Lemmy specific meme ... but doing it from elsewhere on the Fediverse. Here on kbin we interact with Mastodon just like we do with Lemmy. It all looks like one wonderful integrated fediverse from here!

"Trying to help your boss steal an election is not part of the chief of staff's official duties in serving the presidency. Sounds like the work of the campaign at best, a criminal conspiracy at worst, and the judge says it will stay in the courts in Georgia for a decision."

Oof, a burn like that is gonna sting.

I think we should remember there is a difference between what Russian people think, and what the Russian media is reporting that Russian people think...

Yep, there is a good reason the median average is usually used when looking at incomes.

Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots.

Kbin let's you have a curated feed of posts from the fediverse (including Mastodon toots) which is sorted by new, hot, top etc.

Steps:

  1. First, if you are subscribed to the https://kbin.social/m/Random magazine, I'd suggest you unsubscribe - kbin drops everything which it can't allocate to a magazine into here, which for the Microblog stuff is a lot of noise.

  2. Do make sure you've subscribed to a few magazines, but also you can subscribe to domains like https://kbin.social/d/social.bbc

  3. Follow people (I'm not sure of they will show up, but can't harm)

...now look at "Subscribed", and then choose the Microblog section (on desktop it's a tab at the top, on mobile you'll need to scroll to the bottom of Page 1 to find the Microblog button).

You should find this Microblog has stuff linked to the magazines you subscribe to, this is due to hastags being linked to those magazines, and also included posts from domains you've subscribed too. I'm not actually sure if people you've followed show up here(?)

Better still you can now sort and filter this list, New, Hot, Top / 3h, 6h, 12h, day, week etc.
This is sorting based on boots and upvotes.

In summary you've now got a custom curated feed of fediverse posts, and you can sort this feed by the posts which are most popular.

...I don't think Mastodon let's you sort your feed like this - this is power!

Edit: Fixed the hyperlink to Random

Click through for a screenshot of #ArtemisApp.
This is cross linked from Hariette's Mastodon profile:

Test driving the release candidate for v0.2.0 of #ArtemisApp. It’s the first version that’s gonna be publicly available. Within the week 🚀 /kbin API is still due for release. But you’ll be able to use the https://artemis.camp instance, that has a fork of the official API. Support for other instances will roll out as soon as the API ships. And #Lemmy support is coming in a week or two :) #Threadiverse #kbin #kbinapp #ios #android

There was clearly a large bot net which started stencilling the outlines of the letters, but then it was magic, everybody understood the assignment. The letters filled out in a handful of minutes. Then, then the whiteout slowed - the apes (mostly) agreed the job was done. It took another half an hour or so for the white fog to finally take hold.

But r/place is ruled by bots... I bet the kind of people who develop bots are reeeeaaaly pleased about the API changes...

Well that was traumatic, I kept subconsciously opening kbin only to be greatest with a "Planned technical works are in progress" message. Disaster.

Well controversially I opened the official Reddit app to see if anyone was talking about it there - that was a mistake, after meer seconds I realised it really is a horrible as everybody says... Closed Reddit.

Checked kbin again -- noo still not back up.

Breath. No I'm English, go make a cup of tea. Right we can get through this.
Mastodon, that works right - ahhh it's not quite kbin, but this is is cool too. Other people are talking about the #kbin maintenance here too.

How did you all cope?

A boost is more like a retweet, anybody who follows you elsewhere in the fediverse will see the thing you boosted in their feed.

An upvote(=a favourite) doesn't get broadcast in the same way. This is why a boost is weighted as a more significant endorsement.

Very exciting start to the Tour De France today. Great seeing the Yates brothers battling it out, and a well earned result for Adam.
