    @ernest When does Kbin expect to reopen its APIs? Saw a post from a dev on my former platform who wants to create a mobile app for Kbin but APIs are currently closed. Thanks very much you are doing a heroic job!

    Is there a way to customize the “top bar”?

    The theme options in the sidebar allow me to “enable top bar” but when I do, aside from the standard-seeming “All”, “Subscribed” etc, this top bar lists a bunch of seemingly random mags. Is there a way to customize what’s up there? Or at least set it to list my subscribed? as-is it’s a bunch of mags I have no interest in

    I can’t figure out how to open links to magazines/communities on other instances in kbin in order to subscribe to them. Clicking on it opens the instance in a new tab. Pasting its link into Search for magazines usually comes up empty. I

    For example today I saw this post with a link to a lemmy.world community. I click the link and it opens that community’s lemmy.world page in a new tab. If I click Subscribe on that page, it asks my for my instance, I enter kbin.social and I get a kbin.social page with 404 Not Found. If I try to search for it on kbin with either the name or the full link, I just get “Empty”.

    That’s just one example, it happens with lots of other ones, too, especially new ones. I’ve managed to pull foreign ones up sometimes. I assume those are cases where kbin.social already “knows” about a community because someone else on here has interacted with it.

    So how do I subscribe to these things?

    What is the difference between boosts and upvotes?

    Is there a way to collapse comment threads? Can something like that be added please.

      I’ve read boost are like retweets from twitter
