I tried looking around for a changelog but I couldn’t find one anywhere (let me know if you know where it is, I know you can look at the commits/merged PRs on Codeberg but there’s a lot to dig through).
Here’s some of the changes I’ve noticed:
- Profile picture next to username in top right
- Comments can now be sorted by “top”
- Larger image preview when uploading an image
- Magazine stats are now localized (yay!!!)
- kbin logo instead of stormtrooper in the “Create your own instance” box
- Vote colors are brighter on dark mode
- New theme: Tokyo Night
This is just what I’ve seen after using the site for a bit after the update, let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed!
Edit: I just noticed that you can filter posts by language now, that’s huge!
Things I’m particularly proud of include the new language filtering setting, the lnf changes (compact mode on a tablet feels niiice) and the markdown improvements - hopefully everyones community links will work now!
I think html now may work in our profiles. I have a referral link to my mastodon account in my profile and it’s always just shown up as the text, now after the update the code actually is recognize and showing up as a link (albeit, broken lol).
Edit: Fixed, def works at least for embedding a link.
Edit 2: Full on html, got a marquee tag working too lolu sure u don’t did a oopsie?
(href=““https://mstdn.ca/[@GeekFTW](https://kbin.social/u/GeekFTW)””) 2x -> " <- ?
or did /kbin did you dirty? 😭edit: ok… i’m sorry! it’s /kbin 😌
edit2: it now works <3
Tokyo Night is awesome on dark reader mode. Nice work devs. 😀👍
Soon I will try to craft a post about whom exactly we owe these changes to. Today there’s already too much excitement for one evening ;)

For the next few hours, the website may be slow. We are working on a fix.
Loving the new update @ernest!
The iOS PWA logs out whenever I lock my screen. Is that something that will be fixed? I love kbin ty for all the work you do!
I haven’t seen that report before, if it’s happening consistently with you can you add it as an issue on https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues
We adjusted the manifest to add in the updated logos and shortcuts and it’s working correctly on Android.
Good to make a report in case there’s some underlying issue
Hmm. Interestingly, I just tried it again and it seems the issue may have fixed itself (probably affected by the other changes). If it does start again I’ll make a report. Thanks!
I’m on Firefox mobile (Android) and the ui is now in Polish? How do I change it back to English
Edit: nwm I found how to change it, at the very bottom of any page
OH, no wonder this took a while. Those are great! I love this new theme.
I absolutely love the new Tokyo Night theme.
Also, good on Ernest for getting ahead of the legal curve! #IWasHereWhenItWasStillAStormtrooper
This was a wonderful update! But I seem to have come across a bug while browsing kbin as a PWA using Firefox on Android. The button for expanding posts seem to be overlayed by the boost button. Whenever I click to expand, the post is getting boosted instead.
EDIT: The issue is with the ‘kbin usability pack’ userscript and not kbin itself. My bad. Sorry for the unnecessary ping Ernest.
Looks like the kbin PWA on my phone is now following my default setting for homepage of subscribed instead of all when opening it. I like this change.
Still overrides my locked rotation, though. Oh well 😅
Really looking forward to seeing what all’s changed and I d’awww-ed at my little new icon. I was kinda thinking the work would last for several more hours, so I’m very happy to see it back already
Edit: Important update for anyone on mobile, the kbin logo now takes me to Home! The hamburger menu has an acceptable hitbox again!
