Kbin upvote vs Lemmy upvvote (kbin.social)

I already understood that, for now, the Kbin upvote not really upvote a post/comment and to do so, I need to boost it.

But, how do Lemmy (and possibly other sites from Fediverse) deal with this difference?

For example:
If I boost a Lemmy post in Kbin, it'll count as an upvote on Lemmy? Or do I need to upvote it when it's a cross-post from another Fediverse?
And how does Lemmy understand a boost in post at Kbin?
Also, if someone at Lemmy upvote my post in Kbin, it'll count as an upvote or as a boost?

Yes, and no. kbin is a bit in no-man's land somethings like reputation and 'top' sorting use boosts, but and upvote is indeed an upvote and it is quite likely the the reputation and top sorting will be changed at some point.
This is an open issue still being discussed, see my other comment below:
