Thanks for looking into this. I've been meaning to audit this mod, but was a bit busy this week. In light of this report, this seems like as good a time as any.

Unfortunately, the mod is no longer maintained by the original author, so I'll have to inherit it and refactor it. I feel it is overengineered for what it attempts to do, so it should be streamlined and the aforementioned issues fixed. I am also aware of the issue that the mod fails to unset itself properly when turned off. I am really not satisfied with its current functionality.

Root cause analysis and solutions are described in a subsequent comment

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on a default kbin setup with KES either on off. The "always expand post bodies" feature of KES only applies to bodies, but I could extend it to support comments as well so that they auto-expand. What I didn't observe was any situations where the expansion bar obscures the text. Do you have a screenshot of that?

Are you running a custom theme?

Hello, I have added this feature to KES (third party extension) today. I believe it is working correctly based on your requirements:

  • Show an icon next to magazine names on the main thread index (https://kbin.social or https://kbin.social/sub if logged in). Click this icon to "softblock" threads from that magazine from appearing on your main thread index. This does not block the magazine outright: you can still go to the magazine directly, so it is less aggressive than a total block.
  • Show a Softblock/Unsoftblock button in the sidebar of magazines, as well as in the Magazines index located at https://kbin.social/magazines. As you would expect, this button has the effect of adding/removing a magazine from your filters.
  • Show a tab at the top of the Magazines index that you can use to centrally manage your softblocked magazines. For the time being, this is merely informational.

Full details can be found in the release notes here over at /m/enhancement.

Let me know if this gives you the functionality you wanted.

Hi, this feature is still available and working in KES under Threads > Permanently Hide Posts. The hide link appears next to the more button, not inside of the more menu. Give it a try.

If you are using KES, you can navigate to Threads > Permanently hide posts to enable the option to hide threads from your feed

If you install KES and navigate to the setting Threads > Rearrange post order, you can dynamically change the position of the OP, the comments, the add comment box, and other elements and choose which place you want them to be in descending order. You can direct other questions to our magazine on /m/enhancement as well.

Good catch, it seems that if there are multiple pages of comments, it won't take you there because of the pagination.

I used to have this issue, but I don't have it anymore. Notifications jump to where they should; the links point to specific comment IDs within a thread. Can you list steps to reproduce it? What do your notification links look like?

Please have a look at KES. The latest version, released today, includes a featured called the "subscriptions omnibar" that allows you to summon a searchable, filterable list of your subscriptions at a keypress and jump to one. This feature is detailed in this thread and looks like this

As promised, I have added something called the subscriptions omnibar to the latest version of KES that allows you to open a list of your magazines at a keypress and search/filter through them, then jump to one instantly. Details are here
