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.

    He using an optional feature that lets you auto populate your reply box with the OPs username.

      Yes, but my bigger point is that it’s not threaded as a reply to one of that user’s comments.

      Edit: Oops, nevermind. I saw their comments elsewhere down here but didn’t realize they were OP. Just one of the interface things on Kbin that needs improvement.

      Edit 2: I need to figure out how to do strikethrough text on here

            That’s because I put that in a code block with backticks (`), here’s what it looks like normally testing

              As a desktop kbin user, there’s no strikethrough. Unsure as to why, if kbin is markdown. Strikethrough is considered advanced markdown formatting so I’m guessing kbin didn’t include it. Now I’m curious to see how much common markdown is visible on kbin’s desktop platform.

              Guide for those unfamiliar with markdown, so you can see what I’m doing. ✔ means I can see it on desktop kbin, ❌ means it remains unformatted (formatting characters remain).

              • emphasis

              • ~~strikethrough~~ ❌

                I’m using kbin.social on desktop and it shows up fine for me, not sure what’s going on on your instance

                Oddly enough all of that looks perfectly fine on kbin mobile, even the strike through, I’ll have a look at desktop later and if it’s doesn’t work

        Ideas for Edit 3: crate the Reddit avatar and start anew. 🥹
