It is the most unsatisfying feature on kbin.

We need something like this:

lol

Yeah, boost is kinda out of place. I know it was counted as reputation instead of upvote probably for how things are different in fedi but it's too out of place. Now it just looks like the little social media share count on some websites.

I find it useful. I follow my Kbin account from Mastodon, anything I boost I then see there - and can boost it to Mastodon easily.

If people followed my Kbin account and I used it as my main for everything, then boost would be useful without the double boosting.

Maybe have the upvote button also boost the post would be the way to go?

I think that would be annoying!

Yeaaahh, lmao. Five people tweeting out "I think that would be annoying!" with no context sounds like a move so short-sighted only a giant corporation would think of it
