Ah, they’d changed it? That explains my confusion - I already had a Mastodon account so I was familiar with the boost concept, apart from how it worked in a threaded setup.
I think we have it because Kbin federates with Mastodon via the microblog section - this is also why it has two kinds of posts, “articles” (like lemmy posts) and “posts” (like Mastodon toots).
It’s super confusing at first but once you get used to it, it’s pretty cool.

Anyway, yeah - confusing!
