PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote
3 years ago by HamSwagwich to c/kbinMeta
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.
The votes are federated but peeps post from time to time that they arent perfectly synced.

Do upvotes/boosts and downvotes pass from one instance to another? I assume not. So if I upvote a post from lemmy.world that's hosted on kbin.social...what happens? It only affects lemmy.world?
