Subs? Not sure if that’s the right term on here.

    They mean as in publication.

    Boost is favourite/retweet.

    When I first joined kbin the boost button had an upvote function and the upvote button had a favourite function and didn’t affect upvotes, but the dev swapped them because we were all too confused.

      Ah, they’d changed it? That explains my confusion - I already had a Mastodon account so I was familiar with the boost concept, apart from how it worked in a threaded setup.

      Anyway, yeah - confusing!

        I think we have it because Kbin federates with Mastodon via the microblog section - this is also why it has two kinds of posts, “articles” (like lemmy posts) and “posts” (like Mastodon toots).

        It’s super confusing at first but once you get used to it, it’s pretty cool.
