PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote (kbin.social)

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.

Right, so boost behaves like Reddit upvote at the moment. So the title of the post is accurate still.

And if everyone just reads and listens to OP they'll all be doing it wrong when it gets fixed, all because you aren't happy that your "reputation" score isn't changing. The software is scarcely a month old folks, and until a week ago was the work of one guy. People need to relax a bit.
