Hello everyone that is trying out new platforms. I’m along side you trying a new place while I see how everything pans out over at Squabblr.co. If you want, share what your user name is over on Squabblr? What brings you here?
I’m not sure if I’m going to like this whole fediverse thing. But figured I’d give it a shot. I’m also trying out Discuit.
One of the neat things about Kbin is that you can interact with Mastodon—that’s what the whole microblog thing is. Boosts are the fediverse’s retweets. Think of upvotes as “I like this thing” and boosts as “I want more people to see this thing.”
Right now, boost functionality on Kbin is a bit limited. There’s a section on your profile that shows the stuff you’ve boosted, and boosts also give 2 reputation points (upvotes give 1). Not sure if there are plans to flesh this out more in the future.
