What is user "reputation"?
What is user "reputation"?
If you go onto your user profile page, and scroll all the way to the right, there is a section called "reputation".
What is it, and how does it work?
Is it like the "karma" system that Reddit uses?

@techno156 I'm glad you asked this. I wasn't sure how this worked either. Good to know it's boosts and downvotes. I wonder what the logic was behind that. I guess receiving a boost is a stronger indication of quality content, but I dont feel that upvotes should be ignored in that calculation
I saw in another comment that it's because of a last minute change for Lemmy compatibility. Apparently, /kbin originally used boosts as its upvote system, but this was changed so that kbin/Lemmy would communicate upvotes in the same way. Some of the /kbin interface is still set up to use boosts instead of upvotes. Since it doesn't break anything
other than heartsfixing it is probably a low priority for now.Oh right on. Thanks for the info!
