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.
You should update your post to clarify that what you said isn’t true.
Upvotes are upvotes, boost is like retweet.
The reputation calculation just haven’t been updated yet.
Right, so boost behaves like Reddit upvote at the moment. So the title of the post is accurate still.
And if everyone just reads and listens to OP they’ll all be doing it wrong when it gets fixed, all because you aren’t happy that your “reputation” score isn’t changing. The software is scarcely a month old folks, and until a week ago was the work of one guy. People need to relax a bit.
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.
