This is the way that Reddit and Hacker News function. When browsing the feed on those sites I middle click the post and the comments link to open both up in new tabs but on kbin both links open the same page.

For images, this would be great. Sometimes there are great titles, but clicking on the comments gives away the contents

IMO, only if we make the comments link take you to the top of the post page and not already scrolled half way through the top comment.

And if we make clicking on the text of the post take you to the actual post and not the community list

Same thing happens with clicking on a reply notification. Unless it’s not on the first page of comments, then you just have to figure out where it was. We sort of need a “context” button like Reddit had to follow the train of thought that the reply responded to.

It’d be nice to have that as an option to help ease in new users, though I personally prefer having the thread title take me to the thread and not the link.

Interestingly, when I started using Reddit years ago, I had a hard time adjusting to post titles taking me to their links and not their comment sections. I was used to how Slashdot did it, which is identical to how Kbin does it now. IMO, it feels nice going back to the Slashdot way of doing things.

Yes.

Though I’d like to have it on a little link icon on the same position of image post’s image icon which is used to open image preview.
