Please don't make me scroll the whole thread with comments just to reach the comment input. Super discouraging

I'm sure it's something that'll be moved at some point, but for now - it's in KES.

ngmi, 10 months ago

Awesome, thanks. But that's only for desktop, I assume

Depends on your mobile browser. There are numerous third-party chromium-based browsers that support mobile extensions, such as Opera. There's also Firefox that supports mobile extensions. In either of those situations, you'd simply install TamperMonkey. I do agree that Chome/Edge should bring extension support sooner rather than later.

+1 this needs to be fixed

Yep, this one has been brought up a few times and it looks like it's under discussion (the idea of it being at the end is to encourage everyone to read first etc)

While that's a good philosophy overall, a thread like this is a perfect example of why we should have one at the top also, you just want to post a quick comment saying thanks for the work and move on, having to scroll heaps far especially on mobile is rough

Jumping on this to mention two things:
Firstly, thanks to all that are helping develop this. Once I got our instance up and running i was impressed with the whole thing. Potentially related: I have more gray hairs now. Let's just say I'm glad to see that work is being done to simplify the docker setup and improve the admin documentation.

Secondly, one behaviour I've noticed is when searching for a new magazine/community, one of the instance admins is listed as owner and moderator and is automatically subscribed to this new (to our instance) magazine/community, and the created date is listed as when we first searched for it.
Is this a bug (known or otherwise) or expected behaviour? Just seems a bit odd...

Cheers!

Cheers for the ongoing support mate. I've been pretty keen on contributing and getting some of the UI/UX polished up, keen to see these all hit prod so everyone can benefit ❤️

Love to make the experience on mobile good enough that if you want you won't even need a third party app.

Cool stuff, thanks all for the hard work it's appreciated!

This is some good work! Excited to see all the improvements once they are implemented here!

Thanks for the great work on this @ernest and every contributor who's dove in and made a PR.

EDIT: Interestingly that @ mention does not work on my instance, but it does on kbin.social EDIT2: fixed, yay

ernest, 10 months ago

You are writing from your instance, so it's @ernest@kbin.social. In the future, there will probably be some sort of suggestion when mentioning people, similar to Mastodon.

lml, 10 months ago

That'll be slick!

Gracklesniper, 10 months ago

Thanks for all the work you're doing!

@ernest

sounds nice but what about better moderation tools

pieceofthepie, 10 months ago

@dekkzz76 @ernest Most things going in atm are from community members who are "scratching their itch"

Mod tools will/are happening but there will always be way more or these sorts of things.

dekkzz76, 10 months ago

@pieceofthepie @ernest

mod tools are core part of the kbin experience, so it should be important for the core devs, so let the "itch" brigade twiddle with box corners

ernest, 10 months ago

I assure you that's the case. These are simply tasks that require a bit more time and attention to work on ;)

pieceofthepie, 10 months ago

@dekkzz76 @ernest I mean, maybe a bit dismissive of all the work being done, but sure.

Work on core experiences is absolutely happening, but also take time.

ernest, 10 months ago

Some fixes are awaiting review, while the rest is still on my local branch. On Monday morning, the changes will be pushed to testing.
