Upvoting isn’t private either, you can scroll to the bottom of any post on kbin and see a list of everyone who has “favourited” a post. All of your own also get collected to https://kbin.social/fav
Serverside not the way it’s implemented I’d imagine, no, but there is no need to have it displayed so prominently on the UI for the users - it isn’t on Lemmy for example.
Though it’s more understandable if you think of the implemention more like Twitter/Mastodon likes rather than Reddit upvotes, but as a Reddit refugee, it just feels weird to me personally.
This is likely unintentional.
Kbin used to have a separate favorite button and no boost button, when you did an upvote it logged it as a boost. When it Federated with Lemmy this meant upvotes from Kbin went nowhere, and Lemmy upvotes showed as favorites. They changed the behavior and swapped them in Kbin but maybe forgot to change over (or remove) the public “favorites”.

Upvoting can’t be private (how would you know what others have upvoted), but saving should be private.
