If you click on the “more” button under a comment or link there will be an activity tab. In this tab you can see everyone who has boosted, favourited or reduced the post. I’m not sure if this a
Is a good feature but it’s interesting to see when someone decides to reduce all of your content for no reason.

    Kbin uses boosts as upvotes for their karma calculation, which is why you see the QI style scoring. Strange system.

      Yeah, that I get… it’s just not intuitive for users. If downvote = -1 rep, then most people are going to assume that upvote = +1 rep, with boost being something like a “look at this post” option. But maybe that’s just me?

        I agree with you. It doesn’t make sense to me. If it was me it would be =If(or(boost=1,upvote=1), karma=karma+1,karma=karma)

      This is bug. It’s fixed in dev. Shortly before the great migration started a change was made to bring kbin in line with lemmy but the bit that calculated the “karma” was missed and so it still uses boosts.

      Not that I agree with the concept of karma.

        Though I was skeptical at first, I much prefer the “positive votes only” style that some Lemmy instances use. If you don’t have anything nice to say, etc etc etc. Downvotes, at least, seem to suppress peoples’ willingness to discuss controversial opinions.
