Yeah, this describes my experience so far. I really want to like it here, but so far it's been an effort.

I am using Mastadon more, hopefully with time we see a similar level of polish. However, even there it don't see a dent in Twitter.

As a new kbin user from Reddit, it's... jank to say the least. My biggest gripe is the new comment box being at the BOTTOM of the page.

[-] Ignacio@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago

I prefer it that way, because I'm like forced to read what other people commented previously.

[-] gnp@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

I think the idea is to promote reading comments before writing.

@gnp

but what happen when you have a MT with thousands of comments? (there are already some here.)

[-] Badabinski@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

At least for me, the comments are currently paginated. I don't like the pagination, but it makes getting to the bottom easier. I'll say that I would prefer the comment box to be at the top, but I'm sure as hell not going to let that stop me from enjoying this site. kbin and the fediverse have done a great job replacing Reddit for me.

Wow you're right. I thought i just wasnt allowed to comment on stuff

If you're on desktop you can use the Kbin enhancement userscript which moves it to the top, also shows peoples tags like @lemmy.world

My scroll wheel hated me until I figured out I could just hold the space bar for a sec to jump to the bottom lol. I would imagine it needs to be changed sooner than later before the number of comments in the threats increases.

The "End" button on your keyboard should be instant, and there for exactly this job btw.

[-] minnieo@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago
