I've been thinking about it lately, and I even wanted to change it quickly, but it turns out it's not easy, and I wouldn't want to make such a big change hastily. It will have to wait a bit because I have a queue of critical tasks, and more external matters are diverting my attention. I've also decided to make the placement of the boost/fav entirely configurable by the instance admin.

Honestly, I love the current state, I'm very used to it, and I would like to keep it. At least on my smaller instance. I also have plans for a short interactive tutorial that will briefly explain how the most important features on the website work.

However, I completely understand the arguments that some change is needed. But making it configurable won't take much more time than making it fixed. Downvotes won't be federated.

There is another option worth considering as well: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/15

Thanks for the feedback!
