Only your instance knows your IP and what links you visited. But everyone can see your votes.

How does everyone see votes? I looked in the page source and could find comments but not votes

If you host a federated instance you can see all votes. Some platforms display votes in the UI (kbin I thought? by hovering over the vote button or score). I figure it's only a matter of time before someone puts up a website to just see people's votes.
