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?

My biggest problem is that there is no way to go straight to the link from the list - you have to go into the post first.

Yeah same here. This feels like a somewhat key usability feature. I'll see if there's a way I can pass this feature suggestion onto the developer.

Update: Probably best to add feature requests to the kbin repo.

If there's one basic feature that I liked about Reddit is that if I clicked on a post it would automatically open the post in a new tab. Not the biggest fan of having to make sure I manually open the post in another tab unless I want to risk losing my place in the post feed.

Pro tip: Never trust websites to open links in a new tab VS in the current tab. Instead, middle click on the links you want to open in a new tab and just assume that every link will open in the current tab.

control+click works too.

I don't follow. What link in your post feed are you not able to find?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's not a case of not finding it, it's that clicking a link in the feed opens up the comments page rather than the link.
