Are upvotes counting towards your reputation now?

Logged in a few minutes ago and noticed that reputation in my account was much higher then before. Guessing it might be counted now.

🥳 nice one @ernest

What does this mean for boost now?
- Hey, boost == 2*upvote. Simple as that ;)
  
  Does this count only for personal account reputation scores, or does this also count toward any sorting algos on the platform?
  
  No, there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It's just info in the profile.
  
  I have to admit, I do like the two being separated.
  
  "Likes" and votes about relevancy getting mixed up on Reddit was a legitimate problem over there.
  
  hope it stays that way, thats wonderful
  
  Cool 👍 Also what happened to “favourites”, I can no longer see upvoted (saved) posts?
  
  fav == upvote (/fav)
  boost == boosts (/u/pizzadreams/boosts)
  
  Ah I see. Working as intended now 👌
  
  Hey, okay, that explains it, was looking at my reputation to check and see if this was legit and couldn't get the numbers to match up. I'm not some crazy person counting up 100s of posts, I've only got like 6, pretty quick math.
  
  Thanks for all you do ernest, loving it here!
  
  Then I just gave you 3 upvotes :)
  
  Thanks for taking care of ernest!
