@tryplot oh for real? I had no idea. My brain said “looks like Reddit upvotes, must work the same way”. The up/downvote buttons are placed prominently in a way that suggests they are impactful, whereas boost is just kinda tertiary / seems less important.
They were swapped before, and were recently changed to this for Lemmy compatibility, but things like the algorithm and reputation counting haven’t been updated yet.

Agreed, location of voting and boost should be swapped, at least until voting means something.
