What the title says. I think the site needs to reach critical mass sooner rather than later, and on top of the relatively low activity for now, we want to avoid obstacles to new migration, even if it’s small convenience stuff. So, what would make your life easier as a kbin user?

Personally, I know I use the save button a lot for important resources and future reference. Even twitter has bookmarks! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think it’s anywhere to be found. It’s also my feeling that a lot of people would prefer the boost feature to be an effect of upvoting instead of a separate button. It makes sense as a kind of “retweet” thing for microblogging, but on the threads side, it doesn’t really work with the magazine-centered instead of user-centered feed.

(not sure this is the right place for this discussion, but this is currently the largest mag about kbin itself, above kbin and kbinmeta)

    A simple “context” button on comments in one’s profile or inbox would be nice instead of having to click “copy url” and paste it back into the address bar to go back to the thread you were talking in.

    I’d like easy access to a donate button, for the federated instance (is that the right name?) I’ve joined. When I first joined I saw a way to donate, and made a small I-don’t-know-if-I’m-staying donation. But now I’d like to donate a bit here and there and can’t find a donate button.

      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.

        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.

    1. polls, but much more than 6 options, much longer than 7 days, and OP can see results without voting.

    2. be able to see list of what one has upvoted and downvoted.

    3. embed videos, particularly YT, Vimeo, niconico, Wikicommons, Archives, and, of course, Peertube.

    4. be able to crosspost.

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

    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.

    @That_Mad_Scientist From what I can tell, we are currently missing an actual App for Android and iOS but also it would be good if we could have a Magazine back log to check if there are past posts on External ones hosted on places like Lemmy.

    I’d like to see an “other discussions” tab (a list of threads that have the same topic in other subreddits).

    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.

      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.
