PSA: while upvoting exists, to get the "move closer to the top" effect that reddit's upvote had, you need to click boost (kbin.social)

Thank you so much for this explanation, it really helped some of this click for me. I don't use kbin, so the boosting isn't so relevant to me, but I'm beginning to understand some of how the federation works together.

I'm not sure how Lemmy syncs and backfill, but under its hood, I imagine it's doing the same thing, just automatically. Lemmy groups are really spammy with boosts when viewed from Mastodon, for instance.
