Additional question, if I may? I joined kbin and was told to use boost instead of upvote (though both buttons were there). I'm now on mbin [fedia and melroy, RIP kbin] and have the same boost and upvote buttons available. Am I supposed to boost or upvote on mbin?

Upvoting should be your default. Boosting is more like a "retweet", where you are publicly reposting something on your profile.

Thank you - I appreciate the help!
