How do "Points" on PH work? And what are the different ways to increase your K-points?

Quite simple. As stated here: "You can earn points by actively contributing across Product Hunt. Contributing includes: posting products, creating discussions, and engaging in conversations. You'll gain points when other community members upvote, cheer, or in any way appreciate your contribution." https://help.producthunt.com/en/...

Maybe a bigger question is what the points allow you to do? Do your posts/hunts/launches get boosted by the algorithm?

everytime someone upvotes your post or comment you get 1 point

you got it. tell us, how did you get your points :-) you have already > 170 congrats. greetings

Where are the Goal Cheer mutation, goalMarkAsComplete and goalUpdate used in the product hunt, I tried to make a clone of the product hunt with whatever endpoints are available in public. I explored the product hunt but can't find where actual use of the Goal Cheer mutation ( v2 endpoints ), Is anyone know then can you please guide me?

This was the same question I had. Thank you for raising this up!
