PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote (kbin.social)

Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don't know...)

The upvote button doesn't seem to do much, but Boost accomplishes what Reddit's upvote did. So if you're looking to encourage a post, use the Boost link.

There is no boost on Lemmy instances, though

Why doesn't Kbin have the [+] and [-] buttons for collapsing or opening comment threads? Or, if it does, where can I find that setting?

It's coming. There is already a fix someone created that is waiting to be reviewed and merged into the site.

In my understanding, boost is retweet and upvote is upvote. So upvote is the Reddit upvote but it doesn't change your reputation?
