There’s not such a thing as a “Lemmy style” upvote. It’s all Like objects under the hood shared via the ActivityPub protocol. But ActivityPub has no mechanism for sharing an activity further than the original receiver (i.e. forwarding from A to B to C and so on). It’s really only made for direct sharing from A to B.
That would still be directly from one server to another server. I.e. from A to B and from A to C. But forwarding is a different matter, i.e. A sends something to B which sends it further to C. There’s complications with signatures and verification in that case and it’s less clear how to handle that.

Ohh so the object doesn’t change at all through the process. I see the difficulties
