shazbot, in Is there a way to message a user?

If using KES, check General > Add mail iconto append an icon/label next to a username to directly message them. (If on the same intance as you)

morgunkorn, in Is there a way to message a user?
@morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

When you click on a user name (at least in the web version), you land on that user’s profile and there’s a button “Send message” to write privately.

Please note however that the admins of the instances will have access to theses messages, they are not encrypted.

yup one of those mental blindness things I think. Even after you said I could not find it and then did a control f and low and behold its like right there. don't know how I did not see it. even has a mail icon.

Do note that you can't currently message users on other instances from kbin. The button will still be there, but it will bring you back to the homepage. I believe Ernest said something about it being "unimplemented," so I'm assuming cross-instance messaging will happen someday, but is probably not a high priority at the moment.

thanks. that is good to know. its a rare thing but once in awhile I want to message someone.

daredevil, in What's the quickest way to find a magazine/community you've subscribed to?
@daredevil@kbin.social avatar

You could make a (private) collection for your subscribed magazines. Not exactly the feature you were asking for, but it's an option to curate your feed. On Firefox I have various collections bookmarked and tagged so accessibility is seamless.

Kierunkowy74, in Combating spam on kbin - some thoughts
@Kierunkowy74@kbin.social avatar

A) Appoint more administrator (or other system roles with the ability to block/delete spam accounts)

@ernest already wanted to do this back in this autumn. It looks, that /kbin software actually was not ready to this, though. :/

HubertManne, in [Solved] How to get rid of the arrows at the bottom of comments which collapse/expand the text?
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

I use a browser on pc and its never obscured the text once expanded for me.

speck,

Might be a mobile thing. Or browser. Always many variables to account for! But @pamasich code snippet seems to have resolved it for now

I agree. It's on mobile. To get around this, I try to use the new Kbin app Interstellar. It's in early development, but progressing nicely.

speck,

Haven't heard of it. I'll look it up!

Prouvaire, in [Solved] How to get rid of the arrows at the bottom of comments which collapse/expand the text?

It may have something to do with the bug mentioned here:

The improved collapsible comments add-on, part of the original KES collection in version 1.0.0, has some conflicts with kbin's own implementation of collapsible comments. I am cleaning this up, but it may take some time

speck,

Ah, nice thank you. I'll look for that and disable it, see if it helps

mules, in To those genuinely interested in moderating

@Ernest is the process for approving an ownership request done manually by you? I requested ownership of a magazine a few weeks ago and it hasn't gone through. I know you've been busy with running/improving the site so it might be worth making the process either automatic or give permission to someone you trust to approve/deny. Hope you are having a good one!

DarkGamer, in What do you think about upvoting/boosting your own post?
@DarkGamer@kbin.social avatar

I'm all for it and I think it's funny when people give me crap for it.

olorin99, in Improved Channel Select Menu 0.2.0 — Makes your subscribed magazines and liked channels more accessible
@olorin99@kbin.social avatar

Found a bug. On mobile the menu is partly offscreen. image. Looks like the menu is aligned with the button rather than with the edge of the screen.

Just released a new update. Is it fixed?

Yep, all good now.

Prouvaire, in Improved Channel Select Menu 0.2.0 — Makes your subscribed magazines and liked channels more accessible

Thanks very much for this. I've been hoping that raltsm4k updates Floating Subs List to incorporate collections, but they haven't been active since mid-last year.

Given your code is partly based on this script, I wonder if you might consider modifyingraltsm4k's Floating Subs List script so that collections appear as part of the sidebar. As a fallback, maybe modify your script so that collections appear before magazines rather than after. This would make it easier to use both scripts, one to access magazines in the sidebar, and the other to more easily access liked collections.

ThatOneKirbyMain2568,
@ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social avatar

I'd definitely be up for that! I also got a lot of use out of raltsm4k's sub list, so I can see how some might prefer to have it in that format.

As for sorting collections and magazines in my script, I plan on making a setting so that you can toggle which comes first.

projectmoon, in if i delete a post from my mag that is from a user from lemmy, will it be removed on both ends (both kbin and lemmy)?

It depends on what the remote server does with the federated delete command. You should generally assume that anything you post to the fediverse is permanent.

Thanks for the awesome website, Ernest!

@ernest thanks, it's wonderful.

HeartyBeast, in Issues with the functioning of kbin.social

Thanks for the new banner - super helpful.

Luxuri, in Issues with the functioning of kbin.social

@ernest I really hope you resolve these issues asap, Kbin is already struggling an already small userbase and lack of engagement, these errors not allowing people to even access Kbin is really going to hurt, especially if these errors keep happening for so long.

Luxuri,

@ernest been hours and still issue persists...
