How does reputation work on kbin?

I have only commented so far with only positive reception, all my comments are in the positives and I only have 5 downvote all I am pretty sure coming from the same person on the same thread, yet I have -5 rep, why?... #kbinMeta

I too would like some clarification on how the up and down votes work on here. I believe I read on one of the FAQ posts - that boosts actually increase your reputation but upvotes don't - because they are the equivalent of likes on Mastodon. I may however be mistaken. Though I just boosted you and took your reputation to -4

Wha is there a boost and upvote option? What's the difference?

Boosts re-send the post to followers/group subscribers, allowing it to reach people who subscribed after the post was originally made.

Upvotes change the colour of the up arrow that you see.
