I tried looking around for a changelog but I couldn’t find one anywhere (let me know if you know where it is, I know you can look at the commits/merged PRs on Codeberg but there’s a lot to dig through).

Here’s some of the changes I’ve noticed:

  • Profile picture next to username in top right
  • Comments can now be sorted by “top”
  • Larger image preview when uploading an image
  • Magazine stats are now localized (yay!!!)
  • kbin logo instead of stormtrooper in the “Create your own instance” box
  • Vote colors are brighter on dark mode
  • New theme: Tokyo Night

This is just what I’ve seen after using the site for a bit after the update, let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed!

Edit: I just noticed that you can filter posts by language now, that’s huge!

      Thanks for the updates Ernest, just fyi I had to delete the pwa I had for kbin and reinstall it to get the updates. Maybe have to adjust something in your manifest to auto update? I’ll take a look at code later. Really happy so far tho, the screen lock is a life saver!!

        The manifest is a pain. Apparently even updating the theme_color should be enough to force chrome to download a new version and update the local client, but that can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or so 😰

        I’ve found deleting it and reinstalling thankfully works and now shows the fancy icon on Android

      The iOS PWA logs out whenever I lock my screen. Is that something that will be fixed? I love kbin ty for all the work you do!

          Hmm. Interestingly, I just tried it again and it seems the issue may have fixed itself (probably affected by the other changes). If it does start again I’ll make a report. Thanks!

    Things I’m particularly proud of include the new language filtering setting, the lnf changes (compact mode on a tablet feels niiice) and the markdown improvements - hopefully everyones community links will work now!

    Increasing the size of the text in the settings no longer causes posts to leak off into inaccessible areas of the page in the iOS web app. As an iPhone Mini user, I particularly appreciate this change. I can finally increase the text size to a more comfortable reading level.

    Hitting the kbin logo takes you back to your feed, instead of having to click it and then go over and click the Home button. That’s a huge plus, IMO.

    I think html now may work in our profiles. I have a referral link to my mastodon account in my profile and it’s always just shown up as the text, now after the update the code actually is recognize and showing up as a link (albeit, broken lol).

    Edit: Fixed, def works at least for embedding a link.
    Edit 2: Full on html, got a marquee tag working too lol

    This was a wonderful update! But I seem to have come across a bug while browsing kbin as a PWA using Firefox on Android. The button for expanding posts seem to be overlayed by the boost button. Whenever I click to expand, the post is getting boosted instead.

    Screenshot of the bug

    EDIT: The issue is with the ‘kbin usability pack’ userscript and not kbin itself. My bad. Sorry for the unnecessary ping Ernest.

    I’m on Firefox mobile (Android) and the ui is now in Polish? How do I change it back to English

    Edit: nwm I found how to change it, at the very bottom of any page

      same for me, seems the migration is not complete or a server is down…
      OR some images have no longer found their way home~

          well i don’t completely know what u mean.
          if i opened images in a new tab it was a error 404, the image could not be found (browser dev tools also said so), so idk if it had something to do with the cache (but cache was also one of my 1st thoughts)~

          but i also could be wrong :D

            It’s not a cache issue at your side. It was a configuration issue at kbin.social with Fastly image cache. Causing those 404’s. It’s now been resolved.

    Looks like the kbin PWA on my phone is now following my default setting for homepage of subscribed instead of all when opening it. I like this change.

      Still overrides my locked rotation, though. Oh well 😅

      Really looking forward to seeing what all’s changed and I d’awww-ed at my little new icon. I was kinda thinking the work would last for several more hours, so I’m very happy to see it back already

      Edit: Important update for anyone on mobile, the kbin logo now takes me to Home! The hamburger menu has an acceptable hitbox again!

      You’re not haha - I have no idea what I’m doing here. Doesn’t get more bleeding edges than everything suddenly changing to polish.
