PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote (kbin.social)
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...)...
PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost (kbin.social)
a small difference, but important to how people use the site
Fuck Reddit u̶p̶v̶o̶t̶e̶ boost party! (kbin.social)

/kbin project management costs, financing, future plans (kbin.social)

While larger, more general communities are thriving on the Fediverse - I'm missing out on the niche communities (kbin.social)
