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.
Right, so boost behaves like Reddit upvote at the moment. So the title of the post is accurate still.
No it does not.
Boost behaves like a retweet and upvotes like upvotes.
The reputation calculation just haven’t been updated yet, that doesn’t mean an upvote isn’t an upvote.
Upvotes are what shows as upvotes because that’s what they are.
Reputation is just something on your profile page that’s currently wrong.
Your post is spreading a misunderstanding, there’s already been other confused people posting.
