    I would hate this personally. (tho you can take that with a grain of salt, I’m not “from” fedi and I’m still getting used to that voters on a post are viewable at all.) I don’t always upvote things because I love them enough to share, sometimes it’s just like a pat on the back

      Fair, but AFAIK upvotes right now don’t do much right? I’m still getting used to fediverse’s ways ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ )

        Pretty sure they serve the same purpose they do on reddit. In a feed on a Lemmy/kbin instance they control the ranking/order of posts and comments.

        However I don’t think they change reputation/karma at all.

          It’s the other way around.

          At least for the top sorting order, boost seems to be all that matters.

          Reputation uses the formula upvotes - downvotes + 2*boost iirc.
