More often than not, the upvote/downvote buttons tend to be similar to the like/dislike buttons, but when you get down to it, it’s a somewhat different concept.
I liked your comment actually, so I up voted your thought/opinion. But when the post/comment turns out to be factual and relevant, then even if I don’t actually like the information, if the information checks out, I’ll tap the upvote.
In that sort of case, that means I feel that more people should see/hear the information posted.
I learned today that Kbin actually has a Boost button just for this sort of uncertainty, where you neither have to upvote nor downvote, but still think others should see it.
I dunno, I don’t have a Kbin account, just a Lemmy account, and apparently Lemmy hasn’t implemented any such Boost feature. 🤷♂️
also downvotes aren't federated to kbin so you wont see downvotes from other instances and because downvotes are public here you're less likely to see them in general. it's an overall much better experience.
I want to be more active in different discussions on here but don't want to dump irrelevant stuff onto everyone or make additional accounts. I wish we could have different personas or sub-profiles, so I could read a single TL but post to different feeds that could be subscribed separately.
I haven't done extensive testing, but the impression I got from my limited experiments is that you need a Lemmy or kbin account to post to the main (threads) section of a kbin magazine.
It's one of the differences between Lemmy and kbin. With Lemmy you can post a thread from Mastodon using the format:
---8<---
the post title
@ the lemmy channel
the post body
---8<----
but in kbin this still goes to the microblog section, not the main (threads) section, AFAICS.
I don't follow any lemmy or kbin accounts so I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that. I do subscribe to some Lemmy channels and the posts there appear on my timeline as if boosted by the lemmy channel from the original author. I keep wanting to experiment more but I haven't found the time to dedicate to it, sorry.

The story of DeviantArt, a community site now overwhelmed by content from AI bots and which is itself selling user content to train AI, reads like a cautionary tale for Reddit.
The saving grace is there’s no Reddit alternative for users upset about their content being sold to AI companies
Hach ja, nun ist es hoch offiziell, dass Reddit nun deine Daten für OpenAI sammelt. Alternativen diesbezüglich im Fediverse hatte ich schon länger her vorgeschlagen, das ist @LemmyDev und/oder @kbin, die nicht an deine kostenlosen Daten verdienen (profitieren).
»OpenAI darf Reddit-Daten nutzen:
Die beiden Unternehmen wollen eng zusammenarbeiten – und voneinander profitieren.«
🧵 …weshalb und warum ich oben @LemmyWorld und @kbin hier im #Fediverse zum obigen Artikel vorschlug, ist kein neues Thema aber auf Deutsch so gut wie (fast) nie in der (Fach-) Presse angegangen. Wie auch andere Fediverse #Tool's sonst auch, die miteinander #kommunizieren.

»Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?
Love #Reddit but tired of what's happening to it? We check out #Lemmy and #Kbin, two open-source fediverse #alternative's that are growing fast.«
Five days ago I made this magazine on Kbin social but wanted to test out mbin so I decided to make it here as well. I look forward to seeing how this magazine turns out....
I've created accounts on lemmy, reddthat, and here last summer (I have problems accessing Bee Haw, though), though I haven't been active much until perhaps now as my reddit account of the same name has been suspended the 4th time, and they also got a few of my alts (I wasn't ban evading, gaming points or the like). I've probably made most of my comments on kbin.
Note that it’s making a request to kbin.social with ?format=jpg&thumbnail=96 parameters in the CSS – which results in the full image being loaded since kbin doesn’t run pictrs.
The versions in use on reddthat (according to the settings page) are:
There’s this bug, but I think I’ve only had to ban 2-3 person from sjw.
I like Ernest, but he’s a one man show and need to delegate more, at least with moderation.
Some kbin mags are completely overrun by spam.

Many people don't use the upvote/downvote buttons properly.
It’s kind of disappointing how people tend to use the upvote/downvote buttons. Sure, if it’s an opinion you don’t like, then downvote it to hell....
