How downvotes work on beehaw

I'm a little confused. So I crossposted something from the Shadowrun community (nobody's interested in an AAR, that's fine, no issue).

Weird thing is, I got a downvote on the post, even though technically it's on beehaw, which got me thinking.

This downvote is NOT visible on the beehaw servwr, but is visible in my server.

Does that mean that if a user outside beehaw makes a post in a beehaw community, that post can get downvoted by non-beehaw members? If so, how does that work?

I am sitting on kbin, opened your post and wrote this comment. Also giving you an upvote.

It's a fediverse thing as long to instances talk the same protocol they can interact from within the fediverse no matter what instance .

Edit: protocol not language
