The question is basically the title.

It's very hit-and-miss. But mostly miss. That picture of a cat hiding under wrapping paper taunts me.

It doesn't seem to be related to what instance the content is on. But I haven't been able to find any pattern.

Is there an alternative (for non-instance-admins) that works more reliably?

~~No what I was stating is that who the parent of a comment is can impact it as much as who made the comment. Go into a thread where anyone from Lemmy.ml has posted. If you try to look at their upvotes and downvotes it will give you a 404. If you look at the posts of anyone who replies to them it will also give you a 404. However if you see someone who replied to them post in another thread. It can report without a 404 simply because the person from lemmy.ml wasn't in the chain. If they enter anywhere into the chain you will get a 404. The same for any instance that has defederated~~

Oh wait I see what you're saying now interesting

Ah. I'm with you. Well that's super annoying. Maybe one more reason why lemmy.world should defederate from lemmy.ml. :\

Edit: Oh, I wrote this before I saw your edit. I thought you were saying that if a lemmy.ml user responds to a thread on lemmy.world, then the whole thread won't work on Lemvotes. Which... I don't specifically know isn't the case at this point. But yeah.
