As we all try to settle into this new community just a friendly reminder to upvote and support your fellow community members! The only way new content will get to the front page is if people upvote it. AND it helps encourage people to submit more content.
Same with comments, upvote people to encourage discussion and participation. Let’s build a supportive and active community together!
What is the difference between boost and an upvote?
@1chemistdown @AnotherPerson Boost is like a retweet on Twitter it shares to your own followers on your instance and upvote is like Reddit. You like there post comment/reply
Also, I don’t think an upvote will be ‘saved’ anywhere for you to reference later? So if you do want to circle back on the content, I guess ‘boost’ is the way to go. I haven’t figured out how to ‘un-boost’ something though
Upvote is just an upvote. Boost pushes the content to your followers.
Cool. For all the people I’ve been hitting boost on, congratulations! I have zero followers. I also hit the upvote too.
