Does ActivityPub send those to other instances, or does ActivityPub only send the original post and the rest (upvotes, downvotes, replies) are stored only on the original server where the post was made?

Sounds like this will be a serious problem for scaling Lemmy if more users start to adopt it
Lemmy already has serious scaling issues. It’s priority one for the devs at the moment. The next release has major backend changes.
Lemmy is still version 0, it’s basically not released yet, so we have to give them some slack. They weren’t exactly expecting to go from less than 1000 monthly users to tens of thousands almost overnight, on a platform where development was still early days.
