Hi there, in the upcoming kbin releases, I will be describing the changes along with author tags, but for now, you can check out what’s happening here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/activity, as well as my personal feed: https://ernest.dev

Today, two test instances will be created where we will be looking for bugs for some time, and then the changes will be rolled out to kbin.social and hopefully other instances as well :)

I want to accept as many pull requests as possible, currently, there are still 50 open ones. I’m also following your posts and adding new things to the to-do list.

Have a nice day!

    Appreciate all your work and I am enjoying kbin but please make sure you are not burning yourself out. I have seen it too many times, especially in open source projects that become super popular all of a sudden. Take care of your mental health and work at a pace that you still enjoy. You don’t ow us anything.

    Have a great Sunday!

      There’s quite a few of us now helping out with tickets. Great to see lots of people coming together to make the site better. Good to get lots of bugs squashed :)

        Love it! But that is or can be part of the “problem”. Suddenly it’s not “I am working on the software I like” anymore but “managing merge requests all day”. Not saying that’s what’s happening here tho. It can be a problem.

          @Mnmalst Yeah, I am well aware of what you’re talking about, and I am trying to maintain a balance. I knew that it could look like this at a certain stage, but I didn’t expect it to happen so quickly ;) I assumed I would have a bit more time to prepare and acquire knowledge. Now I have to improvise. I make mistakes, but I try to fix them and always keep an eye on the big picture. That’s all I can do. Working with pull requests is great, I enjoy learning new things from others, and it’s also fun to discover bugs together. At least for now. ;-) But I always emphasize that my priorities are my milestones, which keep me afloat, so I care about organizing our collaboration as quickly and effectively as possible. However, we also need to get to know each other a little better.

    Thank you for your work!

    I’m especially looking forward to the bug which causes notifications not to be sent when you receive replies to your comments being fixed. This one is a huge drag on conversation.

    As for features, very much looking forward to being able to collapse comments.

      Is this about the PWA rotating when auto rotation is set to off? Sounds like a bug on the device, as it’s not happening to me.

    A couple things I would like to see on kbin:

    1. Setting to switch the default homepage from “hot” to anything else, or add an option to only see posts from magazines I follow
    2. Setting to move the “make a comment” box to a place that’s above the comments

    Otherwise, this is pretty much perfect so far.

    Please don’t make me scroll the whole thread with comments just to reach the comment input. Super discouraging

          Depends on your mobile browser. There are numerous third-party chromium-based browsers that support mobile extensions, such as Opera. There’s also Firefox that supports mobile extensions. In either of those situations, you’d simply install TamperMonkey. I do agree that Chome/Edge should bring extension support sooner rather than later.
