I haven’t used Reddit at all since the blackout began. Even if they change course, the Fediverse is growing on me, and I think I’ll stay here.

But I think I’ll peek in tomorrow to see what happens.

    •Subscribe is literally on the sidebar?

    •They want to encourage people reading before posting first, but there are style sheets you can apply to move the comment box. Really, kbin just needs a service like RES so people can adjust things to their tastes

    •Because it’s not Reddit?

    •Yeah, some fixing needs to be done

    The great thing about it being federated though is that you can find a community that better fits your needs, and still get the content from here

      Res isn’t the solution for mass adoption. The product needs to be good as is. Unfortunately afai can tell kbin is the best alternative.

        Yeah, that’s one of the few things that I agree may need to be reworked. It’s REALLY easy to miss because who would expect it to be near the bottom?

        Same with Home. It’s a little picture of a house on mobile, but it’s so small and unassuming and I’m so used to a website’s logo automatically taking me there that I missed noticing it for hours

        All basic things, though. It’s not like they don’t work, they’re just placed an inconvenient scroll down the screen atm. They feel like minor annoyances to me even not comparing them with elsewhere.

        You can also click the hamburger button on the mobile webpage and it’ll show the sidebar contents, so top of the screen and bottom, essentially.
