Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don’t know…)

The upvote button doesn’t seem to do much, but Boost accomplishes what Reddit’s upvote did. So if you’re looking to encourage a post, use the Boost link.

    the dev of kbin will be changing this. so up/downvotes are what affect your reputation. It’s just not a priority right now

      Do we know if there have been any releases since the influx of users? Or are they just focusing on backend stuff still?

      There’s still a lot of long hanging fruit *COUGHcollapsingthreads that would be great to have addressed sooner rather than later.

        It’s just one guy. We were a bit worried if he was even sleeping when the first big wave hit and he kept everything up by cloudflare and prayer.

        You can have a look here to see a test instance with some of the things that are coming, Ernest (the admin) has been merging in a range of tickets including bug fixes, UI improvements and other bits.

        There seems to be an ever growing backlog of feature requests and bug fixes in the issues list but a fair bit is getting sorted out behind the scenes.

        I’m mostly focused on UI/UX for mobile.
