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?
my biggest issue is that you can’t save or bookmark posts…that is badly needed
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.
Agreed. My bigger issue is with the logic for compiling listings. If you are subscribed to a magazine that is much more active than the others, the big magazine completely dominates and you never see anything else. That’s a tricky sort of algorithm to fine-tune, but in the meantime I may have to unsubscribe from this meta mag if I ever want to see any other content on my front page.
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.
It only makes sense until the user has subscribed to anything. Once there’s one or more subscriptions, nothing else should appear on the homepage.
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.
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.
