On the list of Magazines at the top of the screen is an option for Favourites - I cannot figure out how to add Magazines to this list, does anyone know?

    I think this is a holdover. If I remember, the functionality of boost and upvote were switched around on kbin to be consistent with Lemmy. (I’m sure someone can correct me if I’m wrong.)

    • favorites aka bookmarks in functionality, meaning no “karma” and showing up in your favorites - this now happens when you “upvote” something, leading to a confusing “favorites” experience and lack of “karma” when upvoting
    • karma giving (what reddit calls “upvotes”) - these are now called “boosts”

    Basically a lot of weirdness because the two functionalities were swapped without consideration of all the surrounding functionality.

      Looking at it further - hovering over the “upvote” button does indeed say “Favourite” so it seems to be more of an “expected functionality based on what the thing is called” vs “actual functionality”. I would never expect an upvote to be a “favorite” from a user experience perspective.
