Arguably reddit isn’t even mainstream ...

... with just 0.91% of US social media visits ~~this year~~ in March this year, if this isn't wrong:

FB 53.09%, Twit 16.25%, IG 13.85%, ..., Reddit 0.91% ...

What is the difference between Lemmy and kbin? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Thanks for a reminder that I should look into userscripts for kbin. — For now, I'm using the Stylus extension (in desktop Firefox & Chrome) to apply custom CSS. Nothing fancy yet, just simple overrides to remove some margins and padding to make the "compact" view more compact.

... for years and nobody complained ...

FWIW, there was a complaint about Google Books
(long ago resolved). Historical interest only.

I still have those classic REI pants from over 20 years ago. They've been incredibly dependable in normal usage. When they finally required some maintenance tailoring recently, the tailor remarked on the excellent construction and fabric, saying "you can keep these for a long long time." "I have," said I, "and I will."

For music makers, the KVR forums are still going.

One of the advantages of being on Kbin is that you can scroll All by New, and see genuinely interesting content in c/kbinMeta@kbin.social

In the kbin web interface, I click the federation button (triangle icon) in the sidebar and a federation status On/Off option appears, and yes, the initial setting (default) is On.

I haven't yet delved into the kbinStyles offerings.

On my Windows laptop, I'm using the Stylus extension with Firefox or Chrome, to apply quick-and-dirty sloppy CSS like:

  article, article * {
    margin: 0 !important;
    padding: 0 !important;
  }
  article {
    border-top: 1px dotted gray !important;
  }

Someone on kbinStyles should have something MUCH better. I haven't yet tried anything from there, but I see titles like: "...replicate old reddit on kbin". Look into things like that. — https://kbin.social/m/kbinStyles

Note: I also select the Compact view (in the view menu which is found via one of the buttons in the magazine header).
