Quite enjoying the Kbin experience after 11 years of reddit. I thought it would be harder to switch.
We boost here
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what’s the difference between boosting and hitting the upvote/downvote looking buttons?
Boost is a kbin upvote, while upvote is a Lemmy upvote. So if you want promote some good content on kbin, you have to use boost
This is awful. It’s confusing.
This is from the various services trying to talk to each other in ways they weren’t originally designed to do, really. Our “upvote” is a mastodon “favorite” (like) while our “boost” is functionally a retweet/reblog. Kbin tries to bridge the gap between threaded content and microblogging, and it gets about 90% of the way there; all it really needs to do is change it so that upvotes are the ones that contribute to reputation instead of boosts, which are functionally useless outside a fully microblog-style environment.
I just gave you a Boost and a Favourite!
And an upvote?!
It is currently broken which is why it functions in such a terrible way. A fix has been made, but not yet pushed to live. Hold tight :)
thanks, very good info worded nicely!
