Just a quick and dirty userscript to add some features I feel are super important. I’ll probably look into creating some real PRs, but I figure the devs are probably in “put out fires” mode right now.

EDIT:
Added a few more features and cleaned up the expand / collapse UI. All features are toggleable in the kbin sidebar.

I have made this same script for beehaw / lemmy (by same, i mean adding community name after username only)

This is a big QoL thing, and I appreciate you putting it together. Hoping to see it become standard functionality on Kbin in the future.

I agree! Please make this happen, powers that be that have the knowledge to do this.

Can you make this two scripts with separate functions? I currently use https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468460-kbin-collapsible-comments and like the clickable comment header.

Great minds think alike - I just made the same thing, adding domains only

Thanks for this. Is it possible to change the color of the home instance to be more noticeable? Also I think the “@” is being dropped from the replace.

I assume its would need to be in this line, but it’s been 20 years since I coded anything and have no idea what script language this is.

var homeinstance2 = homeinstance.replace( “/u/@” + myname + “@” , ‘’);

Hey - with the dark and light mode - I’ll take a while to change the colour - for now I’ve made it in italics, so if anything - a 2nd script can change the colour of the community name

it’s showing

name - community

not breaking up the users URL / address with a dach

name - @community

it’s possible to make it

name@community - but that’s less readable

The script adds toggles for both features under the settings area so you can just toggle off comment collapsing if you already have a script that does that.

You can turn on and off features in the kbin settings sidebar

Thanks a lot for the work !

There is a bug where if you click on the instance/community, then reload kbin, it will add another instance name in the name. For example : gaming@beehaw.org@beehaw.org@beehaw.org
And this infinitely.

Looks pretty good overall. Hopefully we get some style updates too soon, because there’s a heap of vertical space used in the current designs that could be optimized.
