Kbin upvote vs Lemmy upvvote
mizzyc@kbin.social to /kbin meta@kbin.social – 33 points – I already understood that, for now, the Kbin upvote not really upvote a post/comment and to do so, I need to boost it.
But, how do Lemmy (and possibly other sites from Fediverse) deal with this difference?
For example:
If I boost a Lemmy post in Kbin, it'll count as an upvote on Lemmy? Or do I need to upvote it when it's a cross-post from another Fediverse?
And how does Lemmy understand a boost in post at Kbin?
Also, if someone at Lemmy upvote my post in Kbin, it'll count as an upvote or as a boost?
You are viewing a single comment
In Mastodon there are ‘likes’ and boosts. The like is the equivalent of an upvote here, as I understand it. A like is just a message to the author that their comment or post is cool. A boost is a message to your followers ’hey guys, you should look at this’
That brings into question what downvotes are, then hah.
They aren't used in Mastodon. Maybe they are in other platforms (misskey?)
Nope.
And, at the very least, kbin downvotes don't federate. Lemmy's might, but they won't be recognized by other platforms.
