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!

In kbin, magazines are based on topics. Users can start threads within a magazine and upvote or downvote in any threads. An upvote is the equivalent of a like or favorite on other platforms. If you boost a thread comment, that is the same as boosting or sharing on another platform.
kbin also has microblogging which is the same as Mastodon, and you can boost and upvote microblogs as well.

Ok, thanks. So if I want to Toot like on Mastodon, out into the void of Kbin, I use Microblog? And I want to discuss a specific theme, I use a magazine in the relevant topic?

@acunasdaddy Yes. Use the add new link under the + sign drop down menu to create a thread. Be sure to add hashtags to your microblog post so people can find it. Have fun.
@symfonystation Thanks!
