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.

        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).

          Testing MD (headings)

          • bullet points ✔

            • sub bullets (no tab on kbin; use 4 spaces) ✔

          • bold ✔

          • emphasis ✔

          • ~~strikethrough~~ ❌

          • escaping *characters* ✔

          • code (inline) ✔

          quote ✔

            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
