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.

      Thank you! I’m excited to see the site grow as well. We seem to be building a nice place to hangout and have good discussions unlike the site that shall not be named.

      (Also love your username)

        Yes, there is a very strong team there now, and I will gradually delegate responsibility in certain areas. I need to focus on my own milestones. However, I want to do it slowly because there are many pitfalls here that are a consequence of kbin being a side project. But the organization on Matrix was amazing, and I didn’t even lift a finger for it.

          Your level of engagement with the community is absolutely spectacular. I’m glad to have found myself a cozy little Internet space and wish you the best of luck with this one hell of a side project!

          Is any of this code open sourced, or on GitHub, gitlab, etc? Is the matrix channel private or open to any coders?
