Handy UI tip for former Reddit users

RandoMcGuvins, 11 months ago

If you goto your username in the top right, then click settings you can change your homepage to subscriptions.

What are dynamic lists, though?

leaskovski, 11 months ago

Are you referring to the list of magazines that display to the right of the Favourites and the dot? Yeah, how is it decided what shows in that list?

Amongog, 11 months ago

I'd also like to know

This option is in the sidebar gear icon settings, not username menu -> settings. There are confusingly two different "settings."

The sidebar gear icon settings is a toggle between theme settings and (temporarily offline?) federation settings, which is also odd.

I also recommend enabling "compact view." It fits things much nicer to the screen and makes the columns look better.

Dumb question, but I can’t figure out how to subscribe to a magazine. I’m on mobile. Can anyone help?

Roll_4Initiative, 11 months ago

You can also open the sidebar (three lines next to the kbin logo at the top) then scroll down to where it says the magazine name, the subscribe button is directly below it.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and it’ll show the magazine name - there’s a subscribe button right under there.

FYI This strategy becomes difficult if you have infinite scroll enabled.

I wish I could collapse comments like on Reddit. So far it's the only thing I really-really miss from old.reddit.com

I read a post elsewhere from someone who submitted a solution for this feature today, so it’s doable and hopefully coming. I think probably QoL fixes once other burning platforms have been dealt with.

On another thread user @Habnab created this script that lets you collapse comments, https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468449-kbin-collapsible-comments

thal3s, 11 months ago

There’s an open issue for this feature on GutHub, so it’ll be here at some point. We’re still really early here!

Any idea how to make the images appear big not so small above the title, can't even open them sometimes

lwgrs, 11 months ago

Thanks for sharing! Personally I don't like it - but as others have said it's nice to have the option.

TooL, 11 months ago

You can do this on mobile too. Click kbin in the top left, then click the gear icon.

I'm not sure I like it on just because it's a bit cluttered but the option is there

8BitFriendly, 11 months ago

Oh, thank you so much!
The top bar is kinda noisy with all the random magazine names, but being able to switch back and forth to my subscribed feeds is the thing I was looking for!

mykl, 11 months ago

Yeah, nice to know it's there, but having all those random groups appear rather than my favourites is a bit too much. I switched it off again at once.

rodhlann, 11 months ago

Same thought here, I'd like to at the very least see my subbed mags first (or most recently visited?)

turn_to_follow, 11 months ago

Related to your deal: is there an option to sort by subbed mags only, as opposed to the equivalent of /all?

I might just be dumb.

rodhlann, 11 months ago

I haven't seen anything like that in the top bar options, unfortunately. You can filter by your favorites for viewing content, but that's the best we've got so far I think

effingjoe, 11 months ago

Additionally, you can press this menu-looking button and get access to those different types of feeds.

Habnab, 11 months ago

I wish you could make it non-sticky

DarkThoughts, 11 months ago

Too messy for my taste. I think they should rather just move the menu from the right to the left side of the nav bar. It just feels so hidden away.

shadowmushroom1, 11 months ago

thx for the advice
