/kbin - a few quick announcements

Good morning! :) Today I want to focus mainly on reviewing the pull requests you've submitted. There are many great things there that will help improve the kbin experience. That's amazing, thank you! I'm also in the final stages of sorting out the infrastructure-related formalities. Soon, the situation with the website's...

i have a code change request upon for EXACTLY this! talked about it more in another thread: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/15413/Collapse-comment-thread#entry-comment-63906

since this is a client change (rather than a system change), it would only apply to kbin (and not be available via API). there are some customizations that are through api, but this wouldn't be one of them!

i've been wondering why "hot" sorting looked so weird, this makes sense!

SOOOOOO after finally setting up my kbin dev environment I went ahead and wrote some code to add support for EXACTLY this on the official kbin codebase!

GIF of it in action:
demo

I have a PR up for it already here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/167

Now just need @ernest 's approval and once it's merged you'll be able to do this on kbin without any modifications!!!

edit: clicking on a comment now also hides its content (other than the username), making it even more clear which threads are collapsed! (similar to apollo) – updated the demo gif

I love the huge touch target for mobile friendliness, and I've done some work to make sure accidental collapses don't happen (if you mean to select text it won't collapse, if you click on a link or a button it won't collapse either!)

is there a common situation where you'd accidentally collapse stuff when you dont mean to?

interesting, sounds closer to a complete redesign on how we see and interact with the comment – i mostly use apollo so i kinda took the design language there but def see what you're saying!

limiting my change to specifically comment thread collapsing since that sounds like a bigger overhaul!

there's a pretty heated debated going on right now on whether or not that should live in the repo issues or if we should have a magazine for it lol: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/14535/Kbin-feature-requests-may-be-better-housed-in-the-project-s

klin,

but there is @kbinDevlog that only has microblogs that we could probably repurpose for threads?

klin,

TBH that's not too hard to do, but it goes back to the whole mobile friendliness :(

IMO i think the upside of mobile friendliness outweigh the times people accidentally tap on touchpad, and i personally think just having the header being a touch target is a little too small for mobile users.. so i prefer the whole comment being a target

obviously if folks disagree heavily i could probably adjust but i'm curious what @ernest thinks

klin,

i think there are multiple issues requesting this, here one! https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/166

i too would love that too!

getting my docker instance running, any recommendations around hosting?

klin,

thanks! just got docker running locally so that's exciting :D

klin,

how do you set up the DNS records for the mail servers? I set up my docker instance but i can't seem to get the mail servers working locally

hehe just put up my first PR.. collapsable comment threads!!!!!!! literally went through all the hassle setting up just so i could contribute this XD https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/167

Recommend to have the "Upvote" or Favorites list be hidden.

Currently, each thread has the "Activity" link that shows publicly everyone that upvoted/favorite a thread. This is counter norm to many coming from Reddit and newer folks that expected otherwise. I think hiding the list should be high priority in next feature update(removal?) to encourage frictionless upvoting behavior....

There's a pull request to have your subscriptions to be private (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/112) – hopefully that helps to some extent? i don't see these pull requests getting merged but probably because @ernest is slammed

klin,

sorry i misspoke, i meant for all new users for it to be off by default! since it’s on by default

klin,
klin avatar

after some digging i found that you can get this under settings > subscriptions — IMO not super intuitive and i wish there was a way we could get there quickly from the sidebar like apollo

klin,
klin avatar

wish it was quickly accessible in the sidebar :( it’s the main way i browse for new posts

klin,
klin avatar

wow this is EXACTLY what i’m looking for! imma make a codeberg account and help contribute too :)

klin,

he linked a open pull request, asked to be merged. you’re gonna have to wait till the change gets approved and merged to kbin to see it.

I remember there was an app that showed how cooked / not raw the meat was cooked, and it helped people with color blindness by making sure the meat is cooked via cameras— seems useful with AR!
