Hopefully there might be an option to keep this sort of thing private in account settings soon. Reddit let you choose what account activity is publicly visible, and I see no reason why Lemmy shouldn't have this feature, as well.

Hidden would be a more accurate word, as the way ActivityPub works means that data has to be sent to every instance so gaining access to it isn't very hard. It can never be truly anonymous or private.
The way it works in Kbin makes more sense if you think less of Reddit and more of Twitter instead - Boosts (original Kbin upvotes) are retweets and repost it to your followers, Favourites/Upvotes are likes.
