Can someone help me with a few kbin/lemmy questions? I’m trying to understand the difference between the upvote and “boost”. Also the differences between Threads, Microblog, and Magazines.

TYIA!

    I think when you upvote, you make the post more visible in people’s feeds, while boosting is more about increasing the reputation of the poster? I’m not sure what the latter implies, though. One notable difference seems to be that boosting is not anonymous. Everyone can see it was you who did the boosting.
