    However, Kbin maps upvotes to boosts, and displays “favourites” (which include Lemmy upvotes) separately.

    Does anyone know if that applies for both threads and replies? I think it make some sense for threads. Would get a bit annoying though if you followed some kbin account on mastodon or similar and every single upvote for every single reply gets boosted.

      It applies to both for now. I opened a thread about this yesterday and as Kichae said, it’s something the dev is experimenting with and is open to discussing. They also helpfully shared a roundup of links to past discussions on this topic.

      For now I’ve created a separate Fediverse account for my Kbin activity (this one!) which seems to be what most people are doing on Lemmy anyway, but I agree it’ll be nice to change Kbin’s behavior so it’s a less jarring experience for followers on other Fediverse apps.

      I think it’s both. The dev says it’s something he’s experimenting with - kbin is very early in development - and who knows if that will stick or not.
