I think this is a holdover. If I remember, the functionality of boost and upvote were switched around on kbin to be consistent with Lemmy. (I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong.)
Basically a lot of weirdness because the two functionalities were swapped without consideration of all the surrounding functionality.
Looking at it further - hovering over the "upvote" button does indeed say "Favourite" so it seems to be more of an "expected functionality based on what the thing is called" vs "actual functionality". I would never expect an upvote to be a "favorite" from a user experience perspective.
Turns out you were right, I found the Quickstart magazine yesterday and upvoted Threads are collected in the Favourites at the top of the screen and upvoted comments in the one at the bottom (maybe - still not sure about that as it doesn't seem to make much sense) - seems a combination of good idea and also slightly screwy, I'd prefer to have a Favourites collection of Magazines that I build myself.
