I am aware that upvoted posts make it to https://kbin.social/fav however that just doesn’t work well as I already have 1,000+ pages in there. Moreover, that only registers upvoted posts and not comments. A workaround would be to just use boost, and only upvote when you want to “save” but that is just not conventional imho. The ability on /r to simply save a comment or a post is truly basic but effective.
EDIT: Relevant Codeberg issue
When I first started here, the reputation score was still calculated only on the boosts you had received and didn’t take any upvotes you receive into account.
Within two weeks, ernest had that changed based on our feedback. I have full faith that he’ll get a save function in place as well. Just give him some time; he said he was taking a break from the task list to focus on stability for a minute with the huge use growth happening right now.
