Any idea why I might see 63 up votes change to 11 when I vote, or 4 to 14?

It might have something to do with the federated nature of Lemmy. Users from other instances can also upvote, even if they’re not registered on the post’s given instance. This may mean that vote tallying follows a different kind of algorithm than what we may be accustomed to elsewhere.
