Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)
The upvote button doesn't seem to do much, but Boost accomplishes what Reddit's upvote did. So if you're looking to encourage a post, use the Boost link.
You're viewing a single thread.
I really don't know which is which and what does what, so I just click them both
upvote = does nothing (for now) boost = upvote (affects reputation points)
So sometime in the future an upvote will be used to score the post and get it on the "frontpage", and a Boost is just like a save feature to save posts to my microblog?
i wouldnt call boost a save feature per say, but since we arent on mastodon it pretty much looks like one so i guess you can call it that lol. yes, eventually the reputation will be fixed and upvotes will affect it as it should, its just not a priority for now
*per se
I'm sorryThere's nothing wrong with being a little bit pedantic as long as you aren't an ass about it.
oh well, i was understood lol
