My biggest problem with kbin (kbin.social)

The biggest problem with kbin is honestly quite simple, but I don't people is talking about is the fact that finding the magazines that I'm subscribed to is in Settings > Subscribed, on Reddit, it's literally in the top bar, I don't get why it's buried in settings. Another thing is why is my home page full of posts from magazines that I'm not subscribed to and mostly not intrested in? I know I can do /sub to access the magazines feed, but why is hidden and why isn't it just the default?

I think that's half based on forum layouts, and half to encourage you to read (and engage with) the conversation before throwing out an idea that might be the same as others'.

yup, entirely understandable. but once threads start getting very long you often never end up scrolling to the bottom.

again, there's obviously reasons to the decisions, it's just unfamiliar to use ex-reddit folk.

They are basically the same reason. Forums put the comment box at the bottom so people at least glance through the page before commenting, in hopes of reducing duplicate comments.
