So how many sockpuppet/bot accounts do you have? Every comment you post immediately gets a +4. There's absolutely no way that less than 1 minute after you post a comment on a Lemmy post that's already downvoted to shit immediately gets 4 genuine upvotes unless you're manipulating it.

Edit: and now the fake insta-upvotes on his comments disappeared, someone's getting rid of the evidence lol

On kbin instances you can see the identities of everyone who's upvoted and downvoted a post, I'm looking forward to there being better tools for automatically identifying clusters of sockpuppets and bots like this.

Yeah but kbin still has huge issues with properly replicating posts, comments and votes from Lemmy instances. It often doesn't match up with what I see on Lemmy itself.
