If you are usually a reddit lurker and are on here, it would be cool if you can try and engage with communities for a bit, just to try and get the ball rolling :)
I'd like to point out that the upvote/downvote buttons here on kbin don't behave like you are used to on reddit they are a little different.
Up arrow = Upvote on Reddit and Favourite on Kbin - This is very different to reddit
Down Arrow = Downvote on Reddit and Reduce on Kbin
Boost (at bottom) = On kbin this is the equivalent to a reddit upvote.
It kinda confused me when I looked at my profile the other day and my reputation was -2
I'd only made one single post and it had 17 "upvotes" and 2 "downvotes" so the -2 confused me a bit. That's when I realised the uparrow was not an upvote and didn't contribute to reputation. I suspect many others don't understand this either based on the interractions with my other post.
Edit: To be clear while "fake internet points" are not overly important to me. "Reputation" or similar do give me an indication if I am contributing to a community in a positive and productive manner.
Seeing -2 made me think "Who have I pissed off?" Till I realised that "Favourites" don't contribute to reputation.
