Love it! But that is or can be part of the "problem". Suddenly it's not "I am working on the software I like" anymore but "managing merge requests all day". Not saying that's what's happening here tho. It can be a problem.

Appreciate all your work and I am enjoying kbin but please make sure you are not burning yourself out. I have seen it too many times, especially in open source projects that become super popular all of a sudden. Take care of your mental health and work at a pace that you still enjoy. You don't ow us anything.

Have a great Sunday!

Trying this since yesterday without success. Must be something wrong with that instance.

It's different. From a software standpoint much more mature since it's older and doesn't have to manage the technical depth that comes with the fediverse, since it's not a part of that.
The culture is also different. Not sure how to describe it but if I had to I would also call it "more mature". Deeper conversations and the different structure of the sites makes it different. There are also no moderators or freely created "magazines" (for now).
Have a look at it and feel free to message me if you are interested in creating an account.

It's not wired at all. I am active on both and the culture on both sites is completely different, so I totally understand when people decide that one culture fits them better.

Oh, nothing wrong with node at all. I used it for something very similar in the past myself. It's just that certain modules just don't work in termux.

I might if I find something I am missing.
I have some specific requirements when it comes to scrapping. I am planning to use it on my phone in termux which doesn't allow all nodejs modules. Sadly also the most popular scrappers which use a xserver in the background. So it has to be very basic html scrapping which should be possible when you do it on the old.reedit site.

Ah sweet I was about to start working on something like this. Will definitely use it in the future. Thanks
*edit: Ah it still uses the public json endpoints. A "real" scrapper might be necessary in the future.

I had the same idea and wanted to write a little userscript to achieve this. Sadly Kbin doesn't make it easy to do this, since the actual link is not exposed on the threads page and only accessible after you clicked the link. That makes it super hard to "group by link". I mean you could "fetch" every link for every post but that would put so much unnecessary traffic to the site so that I would rather not do that.

Looks very good, combined with the excellent https://userstyles.world/style/10313/ theme it's perfect. Thanks!

I recently switched to xfce.
I used KDE exclusively since 2004. That's a very long time but KDE Plasma in combination with nvidia got worse, what felt like, every single day over the last years, so it finally came to the point where I had no choice to look for something that works better.
Super happy with xfce after I set it up almost exactly like my KDE setup. Sure there are some thing that are not as "well rounded" than some of the excellent Plasma features but over all it works great!
