Hi, I am new to Kbin like many, but I have a few questions on usage. So far I've liked it, but I keep getting logged out after a bit of inactivity and it makes me enter my credentials when I decide to comment. Is there a way to make it keep me logged in? I was very used to having reddit be basically perpetually logged in and being able to interact easily without constantly having to enter my credentials.
Second, when I click on links from the various posts, it doesn't open a new tab, and I end up closing the tab when done, and I don't have a tab to return to my Kbin browsing. Is there a setting for all new links to be opened in a new tab? This was also functionality I used with reddit, although I don't know if that was related to RES or reddit itself.
Lastly, speaking of the links, is there a way to make the link on the main page open the actual link to the external source instead of opening the post and comments? I feel like I am having to do extra clicks just to get to the content posted. I am used to viewing the content first, then going to the comments later if I choose to.
Thanks for any info and sorry if any of this has been asked before!
I'm in a similar spot, but I'm slowly getting used to kbin. The biggest annoyance for me so far is that I can't figure out how to hide posts/not show posts I've voted on. That was my favorite base features of reddit so I didn't have to keep scrolling through the same posts over and over.
Regarding the new tab issue, either middle mouse click or long press on phones to open in a new tab. Not nearly as convenient , but helps you not lose your place. I've noted kbin seems decent at keeping my place when going back on mobile, so that's nice.
