    Did avatars get broken with the last update?

  • Thanks!

    i guess i need to exercise more patience after these updates to allow things to settle down :)

    Did avatars get broken with the last update?

    i noticed my previous avatar now replaced with the text " avatar".

    Attempting to (re)set the avatar in "profile", the file select doesn't take and remains "no file selected" (no error messages issued).

    Kbin Userstyles and Userscripts @kbin.social sdothum @kbin.social

    Kbin Better Page Navigation Bar

    i took @minnieo's page navigation userstyle and converted it to a more generic userscript which should work with any kbin theme (and not just dark -- no need to modify any script vars).

    This userscript was cobbled together digging into other's userscripts.. so hopefully is devoid of any side-effects.

    Kbin Better Page Navigation. It makes the navigation page numbers much easier to read.

    Kbin Better Page Navigation. It makes the navigation page numbers much easier to read.

  • Not sure how easy this would be, but perhaps change this to a js userscript and..

    1. expanded it to use the theme vars to set the highlighting (so it can work with both dark and light themes).

    2. add to GreasyFork and name script accordingly e.g. "Kbin Better Page Navigation.js"

    (i am admittedly not very knowledgeable when it comes to userstyles vs userscripts).

    EDIT:
    i went ahead and created a "userscript" based on your "userstyle" which uses the kbin's theme vars to work with whatever theme is in use (only tested with the 5 current kbin color themes).

    Reddit feels like it's gone back to 100% normalcy already. Was the protest a failure?

  • i would not have found this federated alternative if not for the protest.

    i, for one, am glad to not have to put up with the ever increasing ads, the constant "install reddit app" popup, the crappy "new" interface (vs the "old".. which i continued to use)...

    Remains to be seen how the post June 30 impact to mobile apps and the mod community shapes up. But the drive to further monetize the platform for the IPO is the writing on the wall afaiac.

    Yes, the federated user base is still in its infancy.. but quality over quantity :)

    /kbin Issues

  • Searching on "active" magazines often indicates at the bottom of the webpage that there are several search webpage results.

    Attempting to go to a subsequent page always yields the "first" page results.

    Reddit traffic returning normal, sort of.

  • kbin magazines can be retrieved as an rss feed -- at the bottom of the magazine's web page is the recognizable "rss icon" which contains the url of the rss feed (the icon near the top for lemmy community web pages). i use these rss urls with my miniflux aggregator to group kbin/lemmy magazines/communities into more digestible subject categories -- very useful during this early period when there are multiple magazines for the same topic.

    As nice as the kbin webpage looks, even tweaked with the appropriate userscripts, i prefer browsing topics with the minimalistic category oriented UI of miniflux (which works both on the desktop and the mobile device).

  • Interesting.. not surprising the majority don't care. (Admittedly, i only put up with reddit until now because i wasn't aware of the alternatives which the latest foofaraw revealed).

    i've fully migrated to kbin (replaced my reddit feeds with kbin rss feeds into miniflux for a completely transparent migration.. like nothing ever happened, except the noise went down along with toxicity and no intrusive ads).

    Glad to be here with people who care about their discussion platform.
