I couldn’t log in to Boost using my kbin account. So I created an account on startrek.website with the same username and I’m running with that just fine on Boost. It doesn’t really have much impact on the day to day activity of me basically just browsing All and bs-ing with people.

I suspect Boost doesn’t support (and might not be able to support) kbin because of the unique kbin features like non-anonymous voting and the “boost” for visibility/favoriting thing on kbin.

I’m now seeing a larger volume of both up and down votes, which just don’t translate to kbin for some reason? (Like on kbin I would see comments about how hard downvoted a comment was, and I’m only seeing like two downvotes. On boost now I’m seeing all of that invisible stuff.)

Overall, just the ability to permanently hide posts that I’ve marked as read and having a save post function that isn’t the kbin “boost” feature is going to keep me using this startrek.website account so I can use the Boost app.

The only thing I miss is my more concentrated interactions with some of the people who show up frequently on kbin. Those usernames I’ve come to recognize

Thank you! It’s in “account preferences.” I didn’t see it in there. That’s exactly what I was looking for

Edit: found how to fix this in “account preferences”

Mine hide in the short term when I “Mark as Read” (you can turn on the “Mark as Read” checkmark button in post settings). But the marked as read/hidden status isn’t holding over, if I navigate away from the page I was on. So every time I navigate to All, I’m seeing the same posts I just marked as read a couple minutes ago

Oh man, use the kbin.social web app. It’s good. The only Boost functionality that I really really missed was the ability to hide read posts.

It looks like kbin.social isn’t supported as an instance on Boost for Lemmy? So I just signed up on startrek.website with my same kbin.social username so I could check it out, and so far it’s great
