There’s two very annoying user interface elements that prevent me from getting comfortable with KBin. I’m not sure if these are settings, or bugs on my browser, or what.
One: Every top-level comment in every thread is showing an expand button that hides a lot of the text. So it’s not really possible to read a lot of comments without going through an entire post and selecting this button on every comment. I understand this is useful for very long comments but it’s hiding comments that are only one line of text. Screenshot linked below because the image attachment element disappears when I stop hovering over it.
Two: On Reddit and Lemmy, there’s a button in the interface to collapse a thread and its replies. I’m not seeing that in Kbin.
What browser are you using, and are you on mobile or desktop? I tried all sorts of configurations for different things like sticky navbar, infinite scroll, top bar, compact view, but I could not repro that duplicated expand bar for posts :\
There’s been some talk about collapsible comments https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/306 while it isn’t supported currently, if you are using a device that allows plugins you could try KES https://kbin.social/m/enhancement/t/216222 which can add that as an option
MacOS Safari v16.5.1. That would be a little weird if there were an element only appearing in one / some web browsers.
