No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Ok did some more digging cause I saw some mixed info and I wanted to be sure lol.
So final answer: Yes on Kbin we can see those things. Any post we click on (for example I'm using this one on lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/post/256166, viewed through kbin.social). On every post (regardless of what instance it's on) we have an Activity button which when you click on will show you the Boosts (a kbin thing equal to a Twitter retweet), favourites (upvotes), reduces (downvotes, if you're somewhere that supports them), and all info is public (here is a screenshot which I censored, however I assure you I am regular bumble-fuck-user-#213™. https://imgur.com/a/Jz4iP3Q)
So yes everything is public. I can't find a way to find it on a person's account, but on specific threads you can see it. A person may have to dig a bit for it, but it is public indeed. Whether anyone on Lemmy can see the same thing, or ever will, I have no idea, but we can on Kbin and it does count across the Fediverse it appears.
WTF, the activity button is also on comments. So you can literally see a full list of users who upvoted or downvoted you.
I'm guessing it was done for transparency, but it just seems ripe for abuse. People can take things like downvotes way too seriously. I've seen unhinged users on Reddit go harassing a commenter who disagreed with them.
I do not like this "feature".
Yeah, I would rather not get abusive DMs from some loser demanding to know why I downvoted them. At least don't show lemmy users' votes. Kbin users can agree to opt-in to that by using the service, we can't.
Thanks for digging. It is a little better that it's tied to the post rather than the account - but I'd imagine someone who cared enough could just make a scraper to aggregate account-specific data for everyone (or even just specific users).
I echo @tarjeezy@lemmy.ca with not particularly liking this feature.
