On every thread or post, if you click on more and activity, you’ll get the info.
I personally find this to be a good things, I’ve seen people using downvote way too easily. I like the idea that we need to be somehow accountable for those mechanism.
edit: It could be somehow improved to have an option to let this info only available between concerned users.
edit edit: I think that up/downvote info shouldn’t be public, but kept private between the users involved. we need to address this privacy issue.
Hypothesis confirmed by experiment. Enjoy the boost.
So basically a boost acts like a “super-upvote” (in addition to acting like a share). Man, this is going to be interesting.
EDIT: See replies below for more details.
Is this how boost is intended or just part of the broken system while things get under control?
I know like on mastodon, boost is basically retooting. Would me boosting something show somewhere on my profile? I guess I can look at your profile after this and see if the boost shows up on yours lol.
in kbin, boosts and upvotes are like boosts and favorites in mastodon/calckey. but in here, boosts also ranking up the thread in the top category.
the reputation point is broken tho, because the mechanism behind boost and upvote have been modified/switched a few days ago, but the reputation point code not updated yet.
New to kbin and don’t use Mastodon yet. If a boost is a super-upvote, why wouldn’t you boost everything when you voted it up?
Edit: found the FAQ: boosts are sent to followers in timeline/feed.
