I’m sure many new users are curious.

    Wait so when I boost a comment it appears on my feed or something? I am a bit confused

      I am also confused, but I’ll take a stab at it. Boost is basically retweet in Twitter. Stronger than upvotes since it hits a wider audience.

      As far as kbin is concerned, it will appear under the “boosted” category. Some platforms handle this differently. To take a random user as an example, this fosstodon user has a bunch of posts which will show up separately from their boosts when viewed from kbin. But looking at their profile from Fosstodon itself, you will see posts and boosts mixed together as is the norm on Mastodon.
