I mean that’s a cool feature Reddit didn’t have. There are so many tech savvy people here yet I feel the boost button is mostly ignored even though it can be so much more powerful in how it changes the exposure of a link/comment.
If I can’t see the actual amount of boosts due to some fuckery with being on kbin instead Lemmy or whatever lmk.
I’m almost certain I read that at least for kbin, upvotes don’t mean much, but boosts are what determine comment order and make posts go up ranks.
huh, well that’s interesting to know.
I’ve always set my comment sorting views to “Top” anyway, i.e. most upvotes at top. Not quite sure why this needs to be complicated like this. If something needs visibility and the community wants to indicate that, they upvote it.
