I’m sure many new users are curious.

    On that note, upvotes and downvotes upvote matter even less here (“here” meaning kbin) as the factor dictating comment order in the “hot” ranking is boosting (think retweet equivalent), not the vote count.

    Not sure how that goes on Lemmy though.

      Wait so when I boost a comment it appears on my feed or something? I am a bit confused

        As far as kbin is concerned, it will appear under the “boosted” category. Some platforms handle this differently. To take a random user as an example, this fosstodon user has a bunch of posts which will show up separately from their boosts when viewed from kbin. But looking at their profile from Fosstodon itself, you will see posts and boosts mixed together as is the norm on Mastodon.

          How are they able to post from their mastadon account? Do you link your mastadon account to kbin somehow?
