This isn't true. Posts and comments are sorted by upvotes, downvotes, and age. The place where wires got crossed with regard to upvotes and boosts is "reputation" on your profile. Boosts are supposed to be like retweets.

But also keep in mind, anyone can look at your profile and see what you have boosted.

So there's a privacy issue with boosting threads/comments.

For example, https://kbin.social/u/tryplot/boosts

I can see you boosted a thread about Biden and Assisted Deaths

PSA boost all your own posts for positive reputation

WTF is a boost button? Have never seen anything like that on here.

It's something on kbin, not on Lemmy. You're seeing this post coming over from the kbin website.
