    What’s a ‘boost’ and is it different from an upvote?

      Kbin thing. A boost is essentially a retweet on Twitter and Kbin makes those comments go to the top of the list. An upvote is a favorite. Lemmy only uses favorites and doesn’t use boosts. Since Kbin uses can see all favorites and boots, we can see when users like Downpunxx do it to their own comments.
