I like that it's at the bottom. That encourages at least skimming the other comments before you add your own, hopefully cutting down on the number of times people comment the exact same thing.
If you want it to be at the top instead, that's one of the options provided by the Kbin enhancement script.
I also like that it's at the bottom. It has led me to read more comments than I usually did on Reddit, which is just another subtle way kbin/lemmy helps drive engagement when compared to Reddit. I'm glad the choice is there via the enhancement scripts for those who disagree, though!
Perfect. Thank you.
~tilde has their comment section setup the same way, and I believe their reasoning is because it encourages you to read the existing comments.
Not sure if @ernest has the same intentions or if it was just a stylistic choice.
Personally, I like that it's on the bottom of the threads.
I like that part too. Makes you engage in the conversation already going and add your own comments to that, rather than repeating the same answer over and over.
Having an option to toggle, top and down, would be nice, me thinks.
I agree with other that this position of the box is better. All though finding my own comment in the sea is really difficult, much more than reddit.
To be honest, when I was on Reddit, I read all the comments in a post once or twice per month, or when the post was really interesting and with discussion potential (again, very scarcely).
Since I'm here, I read all the comments in a post every time I visit a post, except for four times, I guess. But yes, I can read everything, and I'm also able to know whether it's being said what I want to say.
For all the people who say it's better and you like it that way. I would suggest having a link at the top to skip to the bottom comments, or vice-versa. Not all threads are philosophy. Sometimes you know the answer to the OP's Q. Or you have something to contribute without the luxury of reading.
Why not put the comment box at the top and the bottom.
Weirdly, the comment is at the top at I type this. But I do remember is being at the bottom.
I totally agree. Its weird needing to scroll all the way down.
I think the same. There is no need to do it different from reddit if reddit done it right, it is important to do it right where reddit did it wrong.
It's to increase your caloric deficit - just think of all those calories you're going to burn scrolling to the comment form, cumulatively.
Soon we'll be able to recognize kbin users from their jacked index fingers
