When you upvote a thread, it's counted as a "favorite." E.g. If you look at the list of people who favorited this thread, you'll see me listed because I upvoted it. And if you click on the "Favourites" link in the main menu, you can see all the threads that you upvoted.
Yeah, what FaceBear said, "boosts" are better as a "saved" list. Boosts are unique to Kbin, and currently they determine a thread's popularity, not upvotes as you would think. That's supposed to change soon, according to the instance owner (who is a real nice guy btw).

I upvote way too much stuff for that to be useful, personally. I use "boost" as my save-for-later button instead.

what does it do,in comparison to favoring?and where can it be found for-later,if boosted?

A save function would be great if implemented. NGL, I just send things I want to save to Google Keep.
