Kbin noob here - Is it the intended experience to take 2 clicks to open an image? (one to open the thread, then another to open the image) (kbin.social)

Bonus question: How do you collapse comments? Some threads are busy and hard to navigate without this.

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

As a two week user, this is my experience. There is also no way to collapse comments... Yet. Someone has wonderfully coded it and shared with the devs but it has yet to be pushed to the main branch yet.

With the huge influx of users this past month they are in triage mode. Just please be patient with the product, Reddit was new at one point too!

Also there's really a UX problem with images (which appears to be fixed at testing instances) but, for now, you can enable "Auto media preview" on settings, so you don't need to click them.

@Maximilious

@The_Tribble_Juggler

A lot of these issues are open on the codeberg dev tracker - In the meantime, check out /m/kbinStyles for a bunch of user created userscripts that fix a lot of the issues people have with the UI/UX.

There is also no way to collapse comments...

Especially check out: @Artillect's Improved collapsible comments

As a two week user, this is my experience.

You can expand the image without clicking into the thread by using the little generic picture icon.

This is great, but I hope the improvements are brought into the main app, because userscripts cannot be easily used with progressive web apps

I use kbin as a PWA from Fennec, scripts work fine in my experience.

[–] SeatBeeSate@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wish there were a way to use scripts on mobile.

[–] NotAPenguin@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

You can!
You just need a browser that supports a userscript extension, I use Fennec, it has the tampermonkey extension and allows you to install kbin as a PWA.

Excellent! Collapsing comments is a must

[–] Timestatic@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'm too lazy to look it up rn but there's a tampermonkey userscript to put the comment box at the top of the page and let you collapse comments
