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?
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?
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.
I wish there was a way to do the reverse: show all magazines except for those I explicitly unsubscribe from. Otherwise I will miss out on a lot of new magazines as they are made that I could be interested in.
Would blocking a magazine accomplish what you’re aiming to do? It should be the “🚫” sign next to the “subscribe” button. Then when you’re browsing all, the blocked magazine (hopefully) won’t show up
My biggest problem is that there is no way to go straight to the link from the list - you have to go into the post first.
If there’s one basic feature that I liked about Reddit is that if I clicked on a post it would automatically open the post in a new tab. Not the biggest fan of having to make sure I manually open the post in another tab unless I want to risk losing my place in the post feed.
Pro tip: Never trust websites to open links in a new tab VS in the current tab. Instead, middle click on the links you want to open in a new tab and just assume that every link will open in the current tab.
Yeah same here. This feels like a somewhat key usability feature. I’ll see if there’s a way I can pass this feature suggestion onto the developer.
Update: Probably best to add feature requests to the kbin repo.
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.
