Up and down votes are federated with your username, along with posts and comments (obviously).

Clicking on links, favourites, email address (if you put one in when signing up), password and IP address are all only on your local instance.

Basically, unless another server needs to know about it for federation to work, it's going to be local to the instance you're using.
