Subs? Not sure if that's the right term on here.

I agree, and I still don't even know if they mean magazine as in the publication or as in the thing that holds ammunition - both make about the same amount of sense to me.

I find kbin more confusing overall, e.g. how you have both boost and voting available, but then for short posts boost is more obviously placed (since the up/downvote buttons are way over on the right).

    They mean as in publication.

    Boost is favourite/retweet.

    When I first joined kbin the boost button had an upvote function and the upvote button had a favourite function and didn't affect upvotes, but the dev swapped them because we were all too confused.

    Ah, they'd changed it? That explains my confusion - I already had a Mastodon account so I was familiar with the boost concept, apart from how it worked in a threaded setup.

    Anyway, yeah - confusing!

    I think we have it because Kbin federates with Mastodon via the microblog section - this is also why it has two kinds of posts, "articles" (like lemmy posts) and "posts" (like Mastodon toots).

    It's super confusing at first but once you get used to it, it's pretty cool.
