Bruh, you got me laughing hard.
418 upvotes / 3 downvoted = You one funny Person*
I am brand new to KBIN n loving it so far
Thanks to OP I got me answer .. that's the first thing I didn't get;
"What's the diff between n upvote and boost ? "
This is a result of the original design. Kbin, up until just before the peak traffic hit, was using boosts as upvotes and favorites/likes were just below the post/thread (where boost sits now). Lemmy does it the way it is now (likes = upvotes) so Ernest changed it to match Lemmy behavior. But just as he changed it, he hadn’t changed the calculation for reputation to match when the server nearly melted down and he has to spend all his time just trying to keep the site alive by himself.
Respect
I see you’re on a different Kbin instance. Was this intended to be a threaded reply, out of curiosity? Because it shows up as a top-level comment on the post for me.
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
You can do strikethrough text ~~like this~~
~~like this?~~
I'm viewing this from KBin and I don't see strikethrough.
That's because I put that in a code block with backticks (`), here's what it looks like normally ~~testing~~
~~test~~
~~test successful~~
I really don't know which is which and what does what, so I just click them both
So...is the boost and the upvote info still valid?
the dev of kbin will be changing this. so up/downvotes are what affect your reputation. It's just not a priority right now
Do we know if there have been any releases since the influx of users? Or are they just focusing on backend stuff still?
There's still a lot of long hanging fruit *COUGHcollapsingthreads that would be great to have addressed sooner rather than later.

It's just one guy. We were a bit worried if he was even sleeping when the first big wave hit and he kept everything up by cloudflare and prayer.
