Sometimes when I look around in communities hosted on instances with downvotes disabled, there’s still the occasional comment with a negative score. Does it only count downvotes from people on your instance, or is there some other magic going on?

As a lemmy.one user with disabled downvotes, I’d like to know too.
I’m guessing that they simply don’t get counted by the disabled instance if you downvote from an instance with them enabled. I’ve seen some trolls here (during the exploding-heads debate, for example) post some obvious garbage in a very active thread, yet never leave +1.
