Ernest just posted some comments clarifying recent changes to Votes, Boosts, Favorites, and Reputation Points:

Upvotes & Downvotes function akin to Reddit
Boosts count as two Upvotes (link)
Favorites are added to https://kbin.social/fav if you Upvote (link)
Reputation Points have been updated

In addition to that, Ernest stated that "there is no connection between reputation points and sorting algorithms. It's just info in the profile" (link)

This might be a really stupid question, but does that mean we can give a post or comment 3 points with a boost and upvote? Or does the boost account for that so a post will only get 2 points at most?

Yep you can effectively give a post three upvotes by boosting and upvoting.
