Discrepancy in comment and upvote count on different instances (dataterm.digital)

I noticed that when I view this post for example on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/post/291005 and on dataterm.digital: https://dataterm.digital/post/54221 that both of them are the same post but with a different number of votes and comments.

I believe this also leads to different sorting of the all feed in these instances. Why is that and can it be fixed? Is it even a bug?

I even saw while having both posts open that on lemmy.world a new comment got added in realtime but not on dataterm.digital

Ok so in my case from your possible reasons it can only be a delay in synchronisation because dataterm.digital is not disabling downvotes and is also not defederated from lemmy.world and vice versa.

But it's still still weird and a bit confusing.

    The upvotes could come from more than just those two places. If lemmy.world and dataterm.digital don't have identical global instance blocklists, one may still be blocking more upvotes counts han the other. Hence why my example had more than two instances.
