(edit) Also, there are differences between posts and stories/blogs on the fediverse. On the stories/blogs you get an option to favorite/boost instead of upvote or downvote.
And since Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon all deal with it in slightly different ways, maybe they just got confused.
They’re using RSS feeds. Not the API. Shouldn’t be affected.
Also, the API isn’t closing. Devs will just need to pay for it if they go over some limits (which were increased since the blackout protest).
