This site is getting better everyday, big shout out to @ernest , you’re doing a fantastic job :)
I think some kind of user polled for a feature wishlist would really help you getting a grasp on what the users on kbin are eager to see on this site and maybe point out things that would improve it a lot and make an overall continually better user experience( kinda like a “ticketing system” for you/ people working on the project).
This should be as simple as possible, maybe there can/ should be different sections for UI, site functions, etc. so maybe important functional points won’t get swepped under the rug by, but maybe someone with knowledge on this things can elaborate on this.
keep it up and take care :)
Thanks, once I deal with the formalities that need to be taken care of first, I feel like next week will bring a downpour of improvements in the release, thanks to the contributors.
Hey ernest, quick question about federation. I setup /m/genart, and I set the tags to follow (eg. GenerativeArt). On my mastodon account I can see many more posts tagged with
GenerativeArt
than what shows up in the microblog. Is this expected? and how can I improve it? I’m currently working through following the same accounts as my old masto account.re: feature requests -> #1 thing I’d love to see is the ability to migrate accounts, so I can port my followers from my old masto account to my new kbin account :))
Anyway, I know you’re busy af, so I’m not expecting a response. No pressure. Love the site and thanks for all your hard work!
@aebrer Hey, in order for tagged content to appear on the microblog, either you or someone else on the instance needs to follow the author of the post. kbin is designed to create a network of mutual friends. We recently experienced stability issues, and some messages may not have reached the instances. Please try following those accounts again. Some instances may still temporarily block us due to Cloudflare protection. If that doesn’t help, send me a private message, and I’ll verify what’s going on.
I also hope that migrations in various directions will be established soon.
Starting today, I can afford to answer a few new questions and a few from my backlog. That’s what I can handle at the moment. Hopefully, I’ll be able to be here more frequently soon :)
Please, move the comment box to the right after the main post. I think Kbin would have a lot more engagement if people didn’t have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page in order to post something.
Oh, is that where it supposed to be? Spent a very frustrated first 30 minutes trying to figure out how to reply to any OP.
Having the ability to expand/shrink replies and trees would be nice. Once I’m done reading a few replies to something I’d like to minimize that tree and read others.
yup that’s me! it’s gone through several reviews and i envision it to hopefully go in once ernest has some time to breathe!

I’d love to not have a bunch of random magazines on the top bar. Heck, I’d love to be able to choose what is there, much like how RES does it.
I thought it was just me … what’s even the point of having seemingly random (but mostly empty) magazines just sit there?
In the meantime, I can’t find a way to get an overview of the magazines I am subscribed to…
I opened an issue for this a while back - https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/100
