I've tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I've upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

I think it's just not implemented because the devs didn't know it was an important feature to prioritize. It does supposed saved posts, which I imagine is what the devs anticipated was most useful for users.

Gotta keep in mind we're just about to get 0.19.0, it's not even v1 yet so a lot of things are still missing.

But yes the data exists, in fact I have the vote history of everyone my instance has seen in the communities I'm subscribed to.

So someone can actually see all the weird shit I’ve upvoted? Oopsie

All the admins with database access can, yes.

This is the fediverse, everything has to be public and auditable otherwise vote manipulation would be easy.

If you want to really be anonymous, your best bet is to use multiple accounts on multiple instances. If you upvote sketchy stuff, use the anonymous account, and otherwise, use your regular more public account.
