Surely there is no way to prevent vote manipulation if you allow votes from any instance to be counted. How does lemmy plan to get lots of vote information to help sort posts on small instances without being vulnerable to manipulation?

    It’s different on non-federated platforms because they can try to prevent spam by preventing people creating large numbers of accounts. They are somewhat successful. In theory on a decentralised platform you could make votes meaningless with a single malicious instance.
