Like the title says, if you want to upvote something on KBin, you should use the Boost link, not the upvote button (Why? Don’t know…)
The upvote button doesn’t seem to do much, but Boost accomplishes what Reddit’s upvote did. So if you’re looking to encourage a post, use the Boost link.

This is a perfectly succinct way of putting it.
That’s how I’ve been using the buttons.
Boost should allow people who subscribe to you but not the magazine see that post in their feed.
