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.

There is no boost on Lemmy instances, though

What happens when a kbin user boosts my Lemmy post? What happens when I upvote their post? So many questions

Every time you boost a lemmy post, an angel gets its wings! And a demon gets its pitchfork. And a trans person gets their gender validated. And a nazi gets punched in the face!
