PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote (kbin.social)

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.

He using an optional feature that lets you auto populate your reply box with the OPs username.

Yes, but my bigger point is that it’s not threaded as a reply to one of that user’s comments.

Edit: Oops, nevermind. I saw their comments elsewhere down here but didn’t realize they were OP. Just one of the interface things on Kbin that needs improvement.

Edit 2: I need to figure out how to do strikethrough text on here

You can do strikethrough text ~~like this~~

[–] HamSwagwich@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm viewing this from KBin and I don't see strikethrough.

That's because I put that in a code block with backticks (`), here's what it looks like normally ~~testing~~
