Ernest just posted some comments clarifying recent changes to Votes, Boosts, Favorites, and Reputation Points:

  • Upvotes & Downvotes function akin to Reddit
  • Boosts count as two Upvotes (link)
  • Favorites are added to https://kbin.social/fav if you Upvote (link)
  • Reputation Points have been updated

In addition to that, Ernest stated that “there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It’s just info in the profile” (link)

      I don’t really like this as maybe I just want a comment or post to get more exposure, but don’t necessarily want it plastered on my profile page.

        Lemmy might be more your jam as a home base; Kbin’s whole niche seems to be a blend of threaded content with microblog content, and boost(reblog) is a significant part of the latter.
