Huh, I missed that when skimming through the post and source code

I am considering implementing my own ActivityPub server to remove the dependency on a Lemmy server to get votes,

I saw that part and misunderstood it as if he didn’t run an instance.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Honestly surprised you’re able to get lemmy votes without an admin account, I thought that data was restricted to instance admins.

I think they limit it to upvotes for normal users
