Up until a week ago, kbin was a 1 person operation for him and his friends. It went from barely anyone on it to a massive spike in people. No, there is no RES. Yes, you can start working on that and submit it to @ernest.

Kbin is still a very early beta. We'd be better off helping it grow by suggesting changes to the codebase than packaging them up into an addon.
But no, there's nothing like this that I'm aware of. Nor a mobile app (but the mobile browser stylesheet does a good job, I think).
Edit: Seems I was wrong and there are some userscripts, but I'm glad to see the maintainers are looking at doing some proper PRs into the main branch. We have the chance to help this place grow, and that's awesome.
A mobile app that supports both Lemmy and kbin is being developed, btw! It's over at https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp
these can do things like add visibility to instance names, allow you to collapse comments, hide/blur nsfw, autoconvert links from lemmy links to kbin links, etc
Excellent! TY!
This is awesome ! Much appreciated. Do you know how to run this on iOS when you add it to Home Screen? It seems the progressive apps don’t work with the userscripts extension.
I don't think mobile browsers support userscripts/extensions unfortunately.
I use ViolentMonkey with three scripts:
- kbin-unsquash to make thumbnails look better
- kbin enhancement script, which does several things, including collapsible comment threads and showing people's instances without hovering over them
- kbin subscriptions button, which provides a quick front page link to me mags, otherwsie it's multiple clicks and a little scrolling.
Gonna have to try these out later, thanks!
I have kbin enhancement too. It allows hiding the random posts thing on the right side. I decided i've seen enough dick pics.
While certainly stuff like user styles have a lower barrier to entry and are very easy to structure as an opt in, note that kbin and Lemmy being open source means that anyone who would make an addon could just make their changes directly to the website.
Is there any way to block certain things? My subscribed view isn't fully curated yet but I keep seeing the same things over and over again I don't care about on all
Click on a post from the offending person or magazine and look for the block button under its info.
It's also important to note that individual users can block an entire instance as well.
Just click on the name of the instance in parentheses next to the title of a thread and then click the Block button there.
Oh that's good. I've been using Lemmy up until now, which doesn't have that option yet. I made good use of the block instance option on Mastodon a few times.
kbin enhancement script is the closest thing right now I think, but /m/kbinStyles has a lot that are worth looking into
