Kbin upvote vs Lemmy upvvote (kbin.social)

I already understood that, for now, the Kbin upvote not really upvote a post/comment and to do so, I need to boost it.

But, how do Lemmy (and possibly other sites from Fediverse) deal with this difference?

For example:
If I boost a Lemmy post in Kbin, it'll count as an upvote on Lemmy? Or do I need to upvote it when it's a cross-post from another Fediverse?
And how does Lemmy understand a boost in post at Kbin?
Also, if someone at Lemmy upvote my post in Kbin, it'll count as an upvote or as a boost?

This reminds me that a few days ago, while I was on my Mastodon account, I "boosted" a Kbin message that was a reply to a Lemmy post. Just what did my Mastodon boost translated into?

EDIT: Now I realised that I'm replying to a Kbin from Lemmy. Confusing as f.

It was a divide by zero and you killed us all. Now we are in a different timeline.

I'd be afraid that the whole Fediverse exploded trying to translate this between platforms

Pretty sure it'd boost it on here too, see this comment.
