This is awesome! I'm really happy to see Sony make their own accessible controller

It seems like this is the opposite of the issue we were having with Violentmonkey, we'll see what we can do about fixing it

I'm hoping there will eventually be kbin update or userscript that allows you to change the text size of comments separately from the rest of the site.

That should actually be somewhat easy to do, I just created an issue for it on GitHub. I'm gonna be busy the next few days so I won't be able to work on it until later, but maybe someone else will beat me to it!

He briefly mentions making a "neural processor" in the middle of the video, so maybe it's possible down the line?

I just reposted it, seems to be showing up now

[–] artillect@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is it not showing up? I made it earlier but it hasn't gotten any votes or comments, I wonder if that's why

Honestly, it's a great question! While kbin is open source, making userscripts allows you to iterate on changes and get updates out very quickly. It's also much easier to start making userscripts than it is to contribute directly to the project, since you only really need to be familiar with JS, HTML, and CSS. To contribute to kbin, you need to be familiar with PHP and Twig, and set up your own instance for testing your changes.

Plus, while kbin is open source, not every single change will be merged, and there will likely always be features "missing" from it. Userscripts also give you a ton of freedom and flexibility in how you use sites, so you could make crazy changes that aren't remotely possible to merge into it.

Hope that answers your questions!

Ernest is definitely aware of some of these (he's been spying on us over at @kbinStyles lol), it'd be great to have them be built in! I love that we've got so many people making mods for kbin, it allows you to make things at a super quick pace

Thanks for all of your help, I love being able to see Kibby up in the top left of my screen ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ

Thank you, hopefully we're able to expand its feature set soon!

Thanks! I worked really hard on that before working on KES, and it was super easy to integrate my script into it

 

Download it from greasyfork

This userscript for kbin enhances the comment section adjusting the layout and adding a line to the left of each comment and its replies that lets you collapse them. The design is inspired by some custom subreddit stylesheets, and new reddit surprisingly enough (you know what they say about broken clocks).

Personally, I think this is the best way to handle collapsing comments here's a screenshot.

A video of it in action

If you don't have a userscript manager extension installed, you can install Tampermonkey, and then open the greasyfork link above.

 

I made this userscript that adds a checkbox to the sidebar that lets you turn off a magazine's custom stylesheet.

Check out the /m/kbinStyles thread for more info

Here's what it looks like

 

I've created a userscript that hides posts based on the language set in the badge.

You can change the whitelisted languages by adding them to the whitelist variable. For example, if you only want to see English and German posts, you can change the whitelist to let whitelist = ['en', 'OC', 'de']

Let me know if there are any issues! I haven't tested it much, but it seems to be working well

 

A modern classic

 
 

I just saw some posts from beehaw.org and lemmy.world, looks like we're back in business!

 

I think the biggest thing we need to figure out is how to make it sound easier than people say it is. People get too hung up on the technicalities of how the fediverse works, and they never try it out and see that it isn't as confusing as it sounds. If we could write up a simple blurb to help promote kbin to subreddit moderators and people around reddit, I think that could really help

 

Hey Reddit refugees! You may have noticed that kbin.social is taking forever to load because of all of the traffic it's getting.

Luckily, there are a few other kbin instances that you can use right now! kilioa.org and fedia.io have recently popped up over the last few days, and they're still running smoothly during the Reddit blackout. They're also still federating with Lemmy, so you can see posts from beehaw.org and lemmy.ml (federation is currently disabled on kbin.social due to the cloudflare protection).
