Mastodon is also able to interact with Lemmy directly to a limited degree.
It’s all ActivityPub, basically, and each platform just has its own different approach to how it handles that data. Mastodon displays them like Twitter posts, Lemmy displays them like Reddit posts with upvotes/downvotes and all, and Kbin has a bit of a hybrid model along with some sort of boost mechanic I don’t understand.
Mastodon uses the boost button as well. I think it’s similar to an upvote, it just kind of helps the post get more attention. Since kbin is a kind of hybrid of mastodon and Lemmy, it uses both the upvote/downvote buttons and boost button. I’m not sure if boosting Lemmy posts does anything though. I haven’t used kbin or mastodon very much so some of my info may be incorrect.
