I’m a little confused about how the upvote/downvote system works as related to your reputation on KBin. Can someone explain?

oof, I don’t like how that is at all. Is this by design or will that change ever?

It will change. It wasn’t intentional.

The upvote button on kbin was originally mapped to boosts. People didn’t care for they, and it was incongruent with how Lemmy does it. So, they changed the functionality, but didn’t get around to updating the rest of the reputation system.

That said, kbin doesn’t federated down votes, so the system is going to be weird no matter what.

I thought kbin and Lemmy do federate down votes, but this isn’t included in the wider fediverse protocol, yet …but I might be wrong?

I hope the boost and upvote list don’t get messed up. I’ve been using boost for things I want to comeback later on top of things I want more visibility on. I’d hate to lose that and have to manually sort them.
