Due to the federated nature of Lemmy, and the need to prevent one account voting multiple times, and the ActivityPub protocol it’s all built on… all votes are effectively public, though Lemmy does try to obscure this a bit. But anyone can set up an instance, link to other instances, and be sent all the votes and who did them.
Lucky for you there is a site https://lemvotes.org/ that saves you this hassle, it’s in the form of looking up votes for a post rather than bulk data.
Orly? Where’s this? Do they openly published their data?
