PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost
Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 348 points – a small difference, but important to how people use the site

As it stands now the upvote works as a favorite or like, downvote lowers reputation, boost raises reputation. It's a bit confusing and there's an open ticket on this. I'm not sure if all old actions will carry over or when the operations change it'll get reset.
Is this a UI issue or a fundamental flaw of the Fediverse? In other words, is this only confusing because of how the UI and thread display logic respond to the data they’re getting? Is this just an issue of how the comments thread is ordered, and the fact that it isn’t what the user would expect? (I only ask because I’m curious and want to know how this place works)
To the best of my knowledge, this is a temporary kbin-specific thing. Pretty sure I saw Ernest mention there is a change in the works with the next update... in fact: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/116811/PSA-every-interaction-you-make-with-various-posts-on-kbin#entry-comment-462816
As Bluskale mentions it's a Kbin UI thing but it will be changing in the future.
if it works as a favorite where do you go to see your favorited content?
If you look to the hamburger icon in the top right of the screen next to your username that's the channel selector. Favorites is the third one down in the list.
