Even if your original instance died, the votes would still be recorded by the instance where the post lives, and votes are public on some interfaces. If you were curious, you could scroll through all 7.67k usernames to see if your old kbin.social is among the upvoters.
Actually I tried that prior to replying:-). The only one I know of like that is https://lemvotes.org/, and its oldest record seems to be March 2025, so no Kbin accounts. Do you know of another source?
I almost said “likely” never find out, bc I could always try to apply to become an admin at sh.itjust.works, find out and then quit immediately thereafter:-). Or beg and plead for that knowledge. Though the effort to gain ratio there seems highly skewed… 🤪

Huh, turns out that I had not upvoted that post… yet :)
Sadly I will never be able to find out, as my initial instance Kbin.social died ☠️
