Is there a way to save threads or save comments within kbin?

[–] mihnt@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For posts you can just upvote them and it will show up on your profile.

[–] Meditative@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Interesting. Good to know!

If it's not already in the works, I could see a lot of utility from adding a "favorited" or "saved" threads/comment option for users to better organize and access the content they want to as opposed to having to sift through what could end up being thousands upon thousands of upvotes.

[–] necrophagist@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah...I upvote a lot of things, but save really useful stuff ... definitely need a save feature

[–] NumbersCanBeFun@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I generally upvote any post as long as it's relevant. I also upvote comment chains I find amusing. Makes me feel part of the moment.

@Meditative

@PabloDiscobar @mihnt

Some Lemmy instances have the ability to Save. Would definitely like to have that!

Anyway to collapse comment tree's?

[–] vizhal007@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

You can do it using an extension on the browser. You can find the thread here

Is there any equivalent of the Reddit Enhancement Suite being developed? I'd love to support their work

[–] DarkArchitect@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

@PabloDiscobar I was a $5.99 subscriber to Reddit until this weekend. I find $5/mo a fair price to pay to keep it going. I also enjoyed awarding folks the fake gold - I know it is worthless really but I have fun dropping a love bomb on someone who was really funny or helpful.

Wth is this microblog I'm seeing under threads?

[–] 0xtero@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's essentially (in simplified terms) a Mastodon client.
There's really no reddit equivalent, but if you pretend reddit and twitter had the same web interface, you'd get close to that "Threads" and "Microblog" are.

[–] Glamposhim@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Closest would actually not be Twitter but the /comments after a subreddit. There used to be a tab for it, but they've hidden it. It's just basically all comments posted in a sub.

Granted microblog is just all comments in that microblog area but it's the closest thing to it.

[–] 0xtero@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah Twitter was probably bad analogy. Fediverse just has so many ways to post, it's hard to make direct comparison to something monolithic like Reddit.

[–] VerifiablyMrWonka@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I mean, you weren't wrong. I can post (Tweet) on my Mastodon and if the tags are being followed by a magazine then that post will show up under it's Microblogs section.

What's the policy concerning alternate/throwaway accounts?

[–] Rabbithole@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Looool...

Welcome back to the internet of the turn of the millennium.

Policy? There almost certainly isn't one. This is the internet that isn't controlled by a corporation so I'd assume that it's the same as the old internet from before that happened.

Nobody is likely to be giving a shit here, just like none of us gave a shit before

Basic rules would likely be, don't be a POS and you'll be fine, just like it always was. Nobody's going to care about your alts if they're not being total cunts to everyone.

And yes, this means that I clearly don't know the answer to your question in absolute terms, and yet I'm answering anyway (I know right, fuck me), but having looked around here, I'm seeing a place that's run by normal people, just like the internet was always run before everything got silo'd into vast corporate web platforms. I'm pretty confident that it works the same way.

If so, the policy would be, "do whatever you want, but don't be a shit".
