Can someone explain to me how kbins reputation system works? (kbin.social)

Because currently, it seems like the only thing it's recording are downvotes. Meanwhile upvotes are completely ignored, leading to pretty much every profile I see having a negative reputation.

Also, I have a very fragile ego and my -6 reputation hurts a bit.

From what I understand, currently it works like this: boost = +1, downvote = -1, and upvotes do not feed into reputation.

And a boost is... what exactly? I feel like that system is going to lead to pretty much everyone being close to 0 or negative. Especially if downvotes federate between instances, as I don't believe boost is even an option for lemmy instances is it?

@TooL

Upvote = I like this thread/post
Boost = everyone following me, here is a thing I think you should see

-ish. That's my understanding at the moment anyway
