i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

This is one thing I’ve been trying to figure out, I keep hearing this a lot. What exactly is different with the upvotes and downvotes? Do they not bury comments and posts or something? Serious question just trying to be informed
While third party apps do track total up votes there is no “karma”. So unlike Reddit having 60bajilliondie points means nothing to anyone but you. Don’t even think I can see someone else’s points.
You could with certain apps… Someone shared someone else’s tally in comments on a post yesterday… Can’t remember which app it was though.
Voyager is one I assume, because I can see your scores on your user page.
GTK…
I’ve only played with it a tiny tiny bit so far
When I click your name, Voyager shows me you have 415 comment points.
It fluctuates. I’m back on 18 according to Connect. It’s not reliabke enough to be used fir a karma system, which is good imho.

I believe Boost is a Kbin thing.
New is definitely the default comment sort that I’ve seen at least using Jerboa with lemmy.world…
I’ve never seen this boost option you’re talking about though…
I see now that you’re on kbin so I wonder if that option only exists there.
From my new user experience it seems like active comments get placed higher regardless of upvoted. i.e. comments that are still being commented on or new ones.
There’s sort options for comment order.
I like that system actually. Sometimes an unpopular opinion on Reddit would get downvoted and buried but it sparked an interesting discussion where the rest of the thread would be quality content. I like seeing some heavily downvoted comments sometimes and hiding that isn’t necessary. I feel like the user should have control over what way they get their feed and how upvotes and downvotes effect that.
