Why am I negative in my reputation? I have not made any posts of comments that are negative (accept for maybe a small one or two but it would have been like 4 to 6 or something). Why am I -46 when I have a highly upvoted thread?

So until… Friday, I think? Thursday? There was a difference between Kbin and Lemmy. Kbin used “boosts” for upvotes and “reduces” for downvotes, but Lemmy used “Favorites” for upvotes instead.
Kbin literally flipped the switch right before Reddit started coming over here en masse to follow Lemmy’s lead and have it be favorites/reduces instead.
The issue is that the reputation code doesn’t seem to have been updated (probably because… y’know, the website exploded). So the reputation displayed on your profile counts “boosts” as upvotes still. IIRC sorting algorithms like “Hot” still use boosts instead of favorites too.
So I’m giving you a boost right now - which should give a +1 to your reputation.
This is just a visual bug for now, though, so it’ll probably be fixed when things die down. This site has only been live for a month or so, so there’s still bugs here and there.
Thank you! That makes sense and I now have 1 reputation point, so that worked!
Here, have another!
upboosts for everyone!
