This is partly true. While upvoting has some effect, boosting (at least on Kbin) has a much greater effect on sorting. For example, no comments were boosted on this thread, with Omgarm's 12 upvote comment below 1984's 42 upvote comment when using hot sorting. I boosted Omgarm's comment and it is now at the top of the page despite have less than half the upvotes.

That's a weird system. I haven't used Kbin, except for where it intersects Lemmy, so I wasn't aware of that being a thing even. On Lemmy we don't see that sort of thing.

It is simply related to each instance differing in which ones are federated and blacklisted by admins.

What does "blacklisting by admins" mean?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Blocked instances. On every Lemmy instance (Kbin is also one just with reddit UI), at the bottom of page, an "Instances" link shows federated and blocked instances.

I didn't have my morning caffeine, I read it wrong. Thanks for explaining.
