Nice one mate :) Could save some embarrassment, not for me of course.

You did notice that our profiles show our boosts too, right?

Don't ask what a boost is btw, I still have no clue about it. Sounds like a consumable that you use before a boss fight.

Kbins original upvotes. Lemmy and Kbin are very similar but not identical, and they used different systems for their votes, so when they federated Kbin had to bodge their systems a bit, which is why the upvotes on Kbin are actually your favourites. It also means while downvotes (reduces) decrease your reputation, "upvotes" don't increase it, only boosts do.
It makes more sense if you think of it more like Twitter with downvotes - Boosts were Likes and Favourites were Bookmarks.
