    The tests can show negative no matter what your infection status. Some people don’t shed enough of the virus in their sinuses to detect.

    My wife is one of them. We had covid at the same time, same symptoms, everything. I tested positive while she never did.

          Kbinauts have an alternative to the Upvote button. It’s called ‘Boost’. It makes the comment show up higher in the thread. It’s like a mega upvote which can get relevant info up faster.

            Does it translate to lemmy, or is it a completely seperate data ignored by lemmy? E.g. does boosting result in a regular upvote on lemmy or is it ignored? If it’s ignored, is it possible to boost and additionally upvote a comment on kbin?

            Would there be a disadvantage to automatically upvote a comment if it is boosted, for better compatibility with lemmy?
