"Boost" needs a visual rework on kbin
revengebreaker@kbin.social to /kbin meta@kbin.social – 0 points – It is the most unsatisfying feature on kbin.
We need something like this:

I would hate this personally. (tho you can take that with a grain of salt, I'm not "from" fedi and I'm still getting used to that voters on a post are viewable at all.) I don't always upvote things because I love them enough to share, sometimes it's just like a pat on the back
Fair, but AFAIK upvotes right now don't do much right? I'm still getting used to fediverse's ways ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ )
Pretty sure they serve the same purpose they do on reddit. In a feed on a Lemmy/kbin instance they control the ranking/order of posts and comments.
However I don't think they change reputation/karma at all.
It's the other way around.
At least for the top sorting order, boost seems to be all that matters.
Reputation uses the formula
upvotes - downvotes + 2*boostiirc.
