Maybe I am the only one to have this "problem", but for the love of me, I can't stand to face anymore the 404 Not Found errors when I type directly "m/kbinmeta" instead of "m/kbinMeta" in my url address.

Everytime I'm like "what? they closed the magazine already??" before I realize I've missed the correct font case and start cursing myself.

Maybe I was too used to it in reddit, but when I explore kbin from my desktop it is a feature I am totally missing and it's driving me insane every couple of hours :\

So, I think it could be a "nice to have feature" to be able to input those names without caring of their lower/upper case letters.

Anyway, thanks @ernest for all your hard work! This beast is positively exploding :)

This is already being worked on. Codeberg seems to be down so can't look up the specifics, but it has been noted.

I think lemmy is case insensitive, but kbin is case sensitive. That's a little confusing.
