Why don't upvotes count?

What is the possible reason why upvotes in Kbin do not add up to the overall Reputation, but downvotes do?

@thingsiplay It's a known bug. The primary kbin developer Ernest has said that this fix is currently implemented in the kbin development environment. This means it should be rolled out to production (ie the live site) soon. See: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/116811/PSA-every-interaction-you-make-with-various-posts-on-kbin#entry-comment-462816
Edit: And it's fixed.
- gotta say, completely unrelatedly, that your avatar is amazing
  
  @mohKohn It is very cool, isn't it? Found it somewhere on the internet many, many years ago and trot it out every so often. There are some talented avatar creators out there.

It counts boosts but not favouroites (favourites in activitypub are treated as upvotes). A change will be coming at some point to fix this.
- @HidingCat This would be good. BTW I just clicked by accident my own replies boost and it counts as Reputation too. Is that a bug or unwanted feature? Can't imagine this being a design choice.
  
  On Reddit, when you post or comment, that will automatically have 1 upvote. That is not done here so you should updoot yourself.

@ernest this keeps coming up over and over, I don't know if a fix is being worked on but perhaps just disable reputation till a fix is ready?
- @NotAPenguin It looks like its fixed?! 15 minutes ago or so Kbin was offline for a few minutes and now my Reputation seems to be calculated correctly. Jumped up from 5 to over 400. Could you confirm that? Yours shows to me over 1200.
  
  @NotAPenguin @thingsiplay
  Vulcan can confirm that your reputation points are looking normal, with 1271 and 482 respectively.

there's a bug where it counts boosts as upvotes and ignores upvotes when showing the total reputation score.

If you hit boost and upvote all your bases are covered. There is a bug and I think upvote is "like" and "boost" is upvote. It should be the other way around I think but as others have mentioned, it should be fixed soon.
