I googled this, and one of the top results gave me the impression that they are not private. I just wanted to get confirmation one way or t'other if possible.

They are federated, so even if you can't see who up-voted what in the Lemmy UI, it is not really private and other Fediverse servers can see it. AFAIK they show up as favourites on Mastodon.
