Does ActivityPub send those to other instances, or does ActivityPub only send the original post and the rest (upvotes, downvotes, replies) are stored only on the original server where the post was made?

    All of those are replicated to all servers.

      Does the subs instance keep the master copy that would decide if the count goes up or down? Or is it the post users instance? Or the comment users instance? Or the upvoters instance?

        There is no master copy. All instances keeping posts/comments/votes individually on their own.

        It’s kinda bad TBH. My server has 195 users but I have a database as big as lemmy.world. IDK how it will scale in the future.
