Just a quick and dirty userscript to add some features I feel are super important. I'll probably look into creating some real PRs, but I figure the devs are probably in "put out fires" mode right now.
EDIT:
Added a few more features and cleaned up the expand / collapse UI. All features are toggleable in the kbin sidebar.

This is a big QoL thing, and I appreciate you putting it together. Hoping to see it become standard functionality on Kbin in the future.

I agree! Please make this happen, powers that be that have the knowledge to do this.

I have made this same script for beehaw / lemmy (by same, i mean adding community name after username only)

Can you make this two scripts with separate functions? I currently use https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468460-kbin-collapsible-comments and like the clickable comment header.
pushka@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Great minds think alike - I just made the same thing, adding domains only

Thanks for this. Is it possible to change the color of the home instance to be more noticeable? Also I think the "@" is being dropped from the replace.
I assume its would need to be in this line, but it's been 20 years since I coded anything and have no idea what script language this is.
pushka@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Hey - with the dark and light mode - I'll take a while to change the colour - for now I've made it in italics, so if anything - a 2nd script can change the colour of the community name
it's showing
name - community
not breaking up the users URL / address with a dach
name - @community
it's possible to make it
name@community - but that's less readable
McBinary@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Thanks a ton for doing that. I appreciate it. I'm just having difficulty noticing when I'm replying to people on other platforms, so some assumed knowledge gets left out when not knowing who I'm speaking to.
pushka@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I'll add two red colour styles tomorrow which changes brightness based on dark mode or not
raltsm4k@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
The script adds toggles for both features under the settings area so you can just toggle off comment collapsing if you already have a script that does that.
dimspace@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
oooh.. its an icon to the left of search.. i was looking underneath per the screenshot lol
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
You can turn on and off features in the kbin settings sidebar
Otome-chan@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
@SirPsychoMantis I found a bug. It seems to not show the url while looking at microblog posts. only in threads.
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
It should show it, however it won't show if the user / magazine is on your instance.
Twinax@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Thanks a lot for the work !
There is a bug where if you click on the instance/community, then reload kbin, it will add another instance name in the name. For example : gaming@beehaw.org@beehaw.org@beehaw.org
And this infinitely.
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Fixed, will be pushing out an update soon
lixus98@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Can we get a screenshot of how it looks? Also I love the amount of effort everyone is putting towards this.
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y
Here you go
Shortcake@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y
@SirPsychoMantis its very clean. want to post this at m/kbinStyles so we can aggregate them?
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Is there any way to cross post? Or should I just make a new one?
Shortcake@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
lol sounds like another https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues issue
you could just link to your post here
CrimsonOnoscopy@beehaw.org · 1 pts · 3y
I note that on Lemmy, no image is visible on this post.
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Ah interesting, I uploaded it directly rather than posting a link
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Updated screenshot of the UI
AnonymousLlama@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Looks pretty good overall. Hopefully we get some style updates too soon, because there's a heap of vertical space used in the current designs that could be optimized.

It's a shame that these scripts don't work fit Firefox mobile. That's where I do most of my... Well I was gonna say redditing. Kbining? 😁
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
I installed Tampermonkey on Firefox mobile (Android) and the script works great, minus one bug for long usernames that I'll try to fix shortly.
JonEFive@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Really? Well now I need to check again, thanks for the heads up
DarkThoughts@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Is there any script that keep the top level comment visible and only collapse the replies beneath? So far they seem to work all in the same way.
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
@DarkThoughts I added a feature to "toggle replies" to the top level comments
DarkThoughts@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Is it possible to also have a collapse / expand all toggle for the entire comment section? Sort of like the Relay mobile client for Reddit.
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Never used Relay, do you want to just hide the entire comment section, or just make every individual comment collapsed into just "Name [+]"?
Yabai@beehaw.org · 1 pts · 3y
This had both collapsing and hiding replies: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468449-kbin-collapsible-comments
Bipta@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Very cool. Is there a GitHub link? I'd love to contribute.
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Just a quick script for now, I will probably focus on contributing to the actual codebase in the coming weeks.
Otome-chan@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
oh this is fantastic. thank you so much :) very useful to see where people are posting from.
Blakerboy777@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Yeeeeaaaah boi! I just installed this and it's awesome! Thank you thank you thank you :-)
Grimlo9ic@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Saw you post this last night but couldn't get around to testing it until today. Works great! I needed the collapse function, but showing the source domain is a great bonus and adds clarity to kbin.
Kaldo@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Really happy with the script so far, do you take feature requests maybe? I think it'd be an easy thing to add - an option to hide "random posts" and "random threads" section from the sidebar. I keep getting porn shown there despite blocking communities, either I didn't get all of them or the block gets ignored in the random search. It doesn't even get blurred. For now I hid it with uBlock but I'm sure other people would appreciate it as a setting too.
Deref@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I made a version that makes the instance name normal weight instead of bold. Think it looks better that way.
False@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Is it possible to use this on mobile Firefox? Not sure if userscripts work there or not.
SirPsychoMantis@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Yep, Tampermonkey is available on Firefox mobile

Very cool and very needed!
Dav@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Hey i just made a very rough one too, maybe I should have been looking for yours first, I've added expanding thumbnails to mine so feel free to intergrate that to yours.
