The biggest problem with kbin is honestly quite simple, but I don’t people is talking about is the fact that finding the magazines that I’m subscribed to is in Settings > Subscribed, on Reddit, it’s literally in the top bar, I don’t get why it’s buried in settings. Another thing is why is my home page full of posts from magazines that I’m not subscribed to and mostly not intrested in? I know I can do /sub to access the magazines feed, but why is hidden and why isn’t it just the default?
I have my eye on it, I’ve seen that related pull requests have also been submitted. It will be improved in some way soon.

It’s way, way, way better for these hundred different feature request posts to actually just be posts to the project’s issues board.
Agreed. A lot of QoL features still need to be added. I want a sidebar with my subscribed magazines for easy access. Also the fact that I have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the comments section to post in a thread is annoying.
If you go into settings you can set /sub to be your default. in the top right if you check the list icon you can see the subscribed/all options.
kbin just has weird defaults apparently.
It makes sense to do it that way otherwise everyone would see an empty page when they first signed up.
At least this way you can use the home page for discovery initially and once that gets too noisy use /sub as your homepage.
makes sense. another weird default is putting the comment box for a thread at the bottom of the thread, rather than the top lol. but a userstyle sheet fixes that. also notifications are turned off by default which is also weird.
lots of unfamiliar defaults lol.
I think that’s half based on forum layouts, and half to encourage you to read (and engage with) the conversation before throwing out an idea that might be the same as others’.
Where might I find and apply such a stylesheet, and is there also one for making threads collapsible?
My biggest issue is that the UI is way to information sparse. Its similar to “new reddit” but “old reddit” was a much better design in that it was information dense and easy to scan multiple posts without scrolling.
