Part of the issue is an upvote means different things on different instances. I have a Lemmy account (inactive) and a kbin. Lemmy has Upvote, Downvote, and Star buttons which can be compared to Reddit's system, with Star meaning saved. Kbin is different. It has Upvote, Downvote and Boost. For whatever reason, upvote on kbin is equivalent to Lemmy's star (called favorite on kbin instead of saved) and Boost is more equivalent to a Reddit upvote. Boosts and downvotes affects post visibility and your Reputation, while upvotes seem to only save the information (for you) for later reference.

Thank you for saying this! My tail bone doesn't bend with the rest of my spine and I wanted to say what helps me, but stopped myself. What helps me (primarily things that force a curve in my lower back), is probably going to make a lot of back issues worse. Gotta figure out the cause before coming up with a solution.
Thank you! Might be able to help you identify some of them too.
Yeah, just found the post again. Checked it out yesterday before OOP added the edits. I'm happy they clarified some things, but now it just seems boring lol.
Someone yesterday posted a question: Will be in a confined place for 3 days, cannot poop in that time, and will have to limit urination. What can I eat that won't make me poop/will inhibit pooping, would be great if the food reduced sweating too. Don't ask why.
Edit: found it!

The only things I can think of is that they're trying to ship themselves somewhere, or doing some next level stalker shit. Otherwise you'd just say the reason right? Gotta be something illegal/dangerously stupid to post that question with the "don't ask why" added at the end. It's either that or sex stuff.
Imma boost some of your comments, and we can see if that changes anything.
Edit: So yeah, boosting counts for your rep. At this point I feel like I'm just playing with your account though. If you want me to remove all the boosts I just did, just say the word. Otherwise I'll leave them.
So I got nosey, and checked out your profile. I'm really confused by your reputation of -31. What I heard was upvotes don't count for rep, but downvotes and boosts do. Do you know, did you get some comments mass reported or something? Maybe reports count against? Maybe it's buggy with non kbin accounts? I'd suggest hitting boost on your own posts, that might help. I know the first day I was active, my rep went up, with me having like 2 upvotes, but also boosting my own posts. It seems weird that you boosting your own stuff would have a positive effect, but I think it might. I included a screen shot of your rep page, so you can make of it what you will... I'm mostly guessing. FYI comments was the only category that had any affect on your rep, all other categories were empty.
I upvoted and boosted you, just because you asked 😉 Boost that reputation!
You are more than welcome! I need more people posting, if you have anything from your collection to add pictures of. My collection is only so big and eventually I'm going to run out of things to post, lol!
Good job! That can be a ton of work, and rather tedious. I'm sure it feels much better having it done. I recently went through about 10 years of photos, looking to make prints. Not something I'd suggest putting off for that long, lol. Felt great after it was done though!
The pizza was delicious 😊
Deli corned beef shouldn't be thick cut, it's going to be a workout chewing through all that!
