Eigengrau, in So why do you perfer Kbin over Lemmy?
@Eigengrau@kbin.social avatar
  • Tried joining a Lemmy instance but loading spinner stay stuck , didn't successfully create account
  • Not much of a redditor , glad you're not limited to redditlike functions . Only downside's microblog functionality very basic compared to single purpose platforms (Mastodon|(.*)key) , but don't want hassle of maintaining multiple fediverse accounts
hariette, in Can / How can I move my Lemmy.world posts & info across to Kbin?
@hariette@artemis.camp avatar

AFAIK, there's no way to transfer data across servers. Limitaton of the current ActivityPub protocol.

But hopefully there's a tool to transfer subscriptions.

@hariette Thank you, I will hopefully get to see that happen in the future, Guess I'll just start from step 1 again.

Collapsing comment threads would be really nice.

Collapse comments with a score of less than -10!

occupancy,

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

Upvotes on kbin also function as favorites. So everything you've upvoted is now logged in your favorite tab - essentially a bookmark.

Is that what you mean?

I personally would love it if the OP of a thread was highlighted in the comment section. Small QoL but it drives me crazy not being able to quickly differentiate who OP is in the comment chain.

That_Mad_Scientist,

I don't think that's really granular enough, though. I guess it would be fine right now with the amount of content we're getting, but on reddit, I lose count on the number of posts I upvote and mostly just forget about on a daily basis, so long term it wouldn't work out, I think.

Also, it's a specific social signal that you think the post is good and so others may want to look at it. I do think it's really interesting how there are separate upvote and downvote counts showing controversiality intsead of a tally which may hide interesting dynamics.

xNIBx, in What features you may be missing from reddit would you like to see?

Automatically hide upvoted submissions. This is a huge one for me and it would make kbin 1000x more usable. I wont have have to scroll through a billion already seen submissions to find something new.

Izzgo,

Automatically hide upvoted submissions.

I think you mean, hide submissions which you have upvoted, not other people, yes? I agree, although I'd like that as an option rather than automatic.

xNIBx,

Yes, i dont want to see things that i have already upvoted.

RES's ignore user/subreddit function was really useful. Took out 95% of the trash on /r/all

Multireddits

Hogger85b, (edited )

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.

Kaldo,
@Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

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.

djc0,

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.

wnose, in Do you have a favorite film scene that you come back to again and again?

The monologue by Michael Nyqvist, where he talks about John Wick to his son. The background music is perfectly synced to the action and leads perfectly to the climax.

@bluGill@kbin.social avatar

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.

Aesculapius, in What features you may be missing from reddit would you like to see?
@Aesculapius@kbin.social avatar

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.

Autocomplete and contents preview before posting.

roldyclark, in What features you may be missing from reddit would you like to see?

really need a good iOS app

EnderWi99in, in What features you may be missing from reddit would you like to see?

Collapsing comment trees so I don't have to scroll to see the next first level comment. Unless that exists and I haven't figured out how to do it.

DrJeckyl, (edited ) in What features you may be missing from reddit would you like to see?
@DrJeckyl@kbin.social avatar

Some have been suggested already but here's mine:
Collapse or hide comment thread/child comments.
Jump to top
Highlight OP in the comments

EDIT: Didn't meant to reply to you @bluGill. Still getting used to Kbin.

Voyajer,
@Voyajer@kbin.social avatar

The indent of an OP's replies is a different color and dashed to differentiate from other users. I agree it could be something more prominent though.
