Don't forget to upvote!
As we all try to settle into this new community just a friendly reminder to upvote and support your fellow community members! The only way new content will get to the front page is if people upvote it. AND it helps encourage people to submit more content.
Same with comments, upvote people to encourage discussion and participation. Let's build a supportive and active community together!

I'm a /refugee here but I think that this place is different...we get/discover ideas by sharing, boosting and speaking to things that we care about not by giving/taking karma points in this place. That paradigm is dead.

My profile is on Lemmy @lemmy.world. I don't have an option to boost anything. Only upvote and downvote. It's my understanding that if you interact from mastodon then you can boost.
On kbin there are options to upvote and downvote. The upvotes are related to favorites and boosts are like reblogs in the mastodon scheme. kbin has a unique way to blend the thread style of communication and content with the microblog that is better federated to other Activity Pub server instance types.
Interesting. Thanks for the context
That would be great, but upvoting is what people are used to and I think it would urge people to participate, especially while we're in this transition period.
