Wait so when am I supposed to boost? Upvotes sort now, so I should usually upvote and boost when I think something should be at the top?
Unless Ernest changed this too and I missed it, boosts still work with the microblogging portion of the fediverse, such as Mastodon. Upvotes and downvotes only interact with the “threadiverse”.
So my understanding is that boosts are now reflecting on threads as 2 upvotes, whereas on microblog posts they reflect as boosts and as 2 upvotes but only on the threadiverse sites.
(Someone correct me if wrong please!)
Boosts don't count as 2 upvotes, just as two reputation points on your profile page, reputation doesn't do anything.
@NotAPenguin
Yes it does. That's literally what Ernest said and I even linked his statement on that in the post. It would behoove you to read it.
