The apps have all gone offline, welcome aboard to all the other refugees, fuck /u/spez!
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 like retweeting something, you can have followers in the fediverse. Boosting makes something more visible to everyone, so you upvote/downvote things you personally like/dislike and boost things you think your followers/everyone would like
Think of this place as a cross between email, Twitter and reddit. All communities can interact with each other and are independent
The upvote doesn’t represent an upvote on Kbin, so if you get a normal flow of upvotes/downvotes and no boosts, you’ll have a negative reputation.
reputation doesn’t actually do anything, of course, but it is there.
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.
There’s definitely room for improvement, but I like what I see so far and don’t have a problem learning a new paradigm. I’m sure that as the platform matures things will become more consistent.
100% agreed on all points.
FUCK REDDIT. FUCK SPEZ.
