Yes that is what it does, in the backend. Every time someone pushes a vote button though, the info is sent back to the originating server, and then it is sent out to all other servers that have at least one subscriber, so that the numbers can be updated. So this is internal federation traffic.There's now a discussion to possibly pool all those internal messages.

I think this spoon is a good example of what i do when i'm working in the flow. I made it in 2019, in about 15 hours of work. Tried to estimate how much it would cost if i would ask for a sincere per-hour price. Aahahaha! The love that went into it can of course not be sold. It's arguably my most beautiful one so far (the 6^th^ if i remember correctly).
The form is not only ornamental but it just works. ๐ (yes i am proud) -- it fits my hand pretty well, the way i hold it. I also like to make them fit the width of the mouth, and make them as thin as reasonably possible. That means frequently trying in the mouth while it' still rough. There was a big hole in the wood which i had to close by fitting in a piece of wood -- and then sandpaper, sandpaper.
I have used it ever since, until a few months ago a mouse took a taste off the front. Did not yet get around to repairing that. ๐
Voting is used differently here than it is on Reddit. Here we have no useless karma reputation collecting. So voting serves the sole purpose of sorting posts/comments by relevance. I used the downvote on Reddit very rarely but used to upvote frequently what i liked. Here, i would vote less but use downvotes more.
Upvoted your comment because of the information that followed-up. ๐
Technical note, of course the systen needs to remember who voted and who didn't. I heard that it can cause considerable network load at the servers.

tankies (they hate being called that
They literally have a tank in their logo! I always love some irony.
Haha i saw that! But was that really on Reddit? Or was it on Lemmy, don't remember ...
