It's the upvote of kbin. I don't know much more about it as I don't use kbin.
Basically it moves content up. Having a few boosts has the same power as a ton of upvotes. Works in comments too.
It's used as a way to move quality content and posts into people's views. I don't know if it affects visibility on Lemmy though.
