We boost here
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what's the difference between boosting and hitting the upvote/downvote looking buttons?
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 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
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.
Interestingly enough, boost for reddit app is still working..... For now
The Infinity app is still working as well. My Slide app is not.
