Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don’t know…)

The upvote button doesn’t seem to do much, but Boost accomplishes what Reddit’s upvote did. So if you’re looking to encourage a post, use the Boost link.

    Boosts are retweets, upvotes are favorites. So upvoting means you “like” that content, and boosting is kinda like sharing it to your followers.
