That’s important to know, so I boosted you. Thanks.

Kbinauts have an alternative to the Upvote button. It's called 'Boost'. It makes the comment show up higher in the thread. It's like a mega upvote which can get relevant info up faster.

Does it translate to lemmy, or is it a completely seperate data ignored by lemmy? E.g. does boosting result in a regular upvote on lemmy or is it ignored? If it's ignored, is it possible to boost and additionally upvote a comment on kbin?

Would there be a disadvantage to automatically upvote a comment if it is boosted, for better compatibility with lemmy?

Unsure, you'd have to look for FAQ information.

Why are you narrating your actions?

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In hope others will, to give comment more visibility. Why did you feel the need to ask?

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just seems like begging for adulation to me. "Oh look at me, I uphooted your post! Love me!"It's like a person who gives $5 to a homeless, and then tells everybody they know about it, expecting kudos.

That’s…cynical. I’ve been there. I hope you heal.

Thanks. I hope you get over your attention whoring.
