What the title says. I think the site needs to reach critical mass sooner rather than later, and on top of the relatively low activity for now, we want to avoid obstacles to new migration, even if it’s small convenience stuff. So, what would make your life easier as a kbin user?

Personally, I know I use the save button a lot for important resources and future reference. Even twitter has bookmarks! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think it’s anywhere to be found. It’s also my feeling that a lot of people would prefer the boost feature to be an effect of upvoting instead of a separate button. It makes sense as a kind of “retweet” thing for microblogging, but on the threads side, it doesn’t really work with the magazine-centered instead of user-centered feed.

(not sure this is the right place for this discussion, but this is currently the largest mag about kbin itself, above kbin and kbinmeta)

Collapsing comment threads would be really nice.

Collapse comments with a score of less than -10!

That’s a bad idea. Political extremists often use massive downvotes to devalue opposing views

Yeah I was thinking that like “moods” somtimes I want my “news” mags, other times I want memes.i had to block meme mags as they were taking over but might have a different account for them if I can’t swap between meme mode and news/tech articles.

Yeah, “All” or “subscribed” is not granular enough, I like having groups based on my interests at that time - software / gaming / etc. Would be nice to have for sure.

Not only that, but there’s a lot of duplication of topics across different magazines. If you could “multibin” them into a meta magazine, that would be really helpful.

Not in reddit, but if you can figure out how to mark/collapse already read comments by default. This is something usenet had decades ago that nothing else does. It is really hard/annoying to go back to long comments just because you have to wade through so much that you have already read to find the interesting new comments. If KBin could have this in some way I think that would be a killer feature.

Clicking on links takes you to the article (with a new tab option) instead of the comments section for Kbin. It feels too redundant and inefficient in its current form.

Disabling notifications on threads/comments you make would be a big one lol.

I miss the ability to do this on a per-thread/comment basis especially.

Sometimes I just want to be done with a particular discussion; back there, I would be able to disable inbox replies on particular comments without turning off all notifications.

Ditto. Hell I made an AskKbin post a week or so ago and I was getting notifications for days, even long after the person had made their comment lol
