kbin enhancement script: Userscript to collapse comments and add domains to names
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.

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

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
I'll add two red colour styles tomorrow which changes brightness based on dark mode or not
You can turn on and off features in the kbin settings sidebar
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.
oooh.. its an icon to the left of search.. i was looking underneath per the screenshot lol
@SirPsychoMantis I found a bug. It seems to not show the url while looking at microblog posts. only in threads.
It should show it, however it won't show if the user / magazine is on your instance.
Can we get a screenshot of how it looks? Also I love the amount of effort everyone is putting towards this.
Here you go
@SirPsychoMantis its very clean. want to post this at m/kbinStyles so we can aggregate them?
Is there any way to cross post? Or should I just make a new one?
lol sounds like another https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues issue
you could just link to your post here
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.
Updated screenshot of the UI
I note that on Lemmy, no image is visible on this post.
Ah interesting, I uploaded it directly rather than posting a link
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 : [email protected]@[email protected]
And this infinitely.
Fixed, will be pushing out an update soon
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? 😁
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.
Really? Well now I need to check again, thanks for the heads up
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.
@DarkThoughts I added a feature to "toggle replies" to the top level comments
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.
Never used Relay, do you want to just hide the entire comment section, or just make every individual comment collapsed into just "Name [+]"?
This had both collapsing and hiding replies: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/468449-kbin-collapsible-comments
Very cool. Is there a GitHub link? I'd love to contribute.
Just a quick script for now, I will probably focus on contributing to the actual codebase in the coming weeks.
oh this is fantastic. thank you so much :) very useful to see where people are posting from.
Is it possible to use this on mobile Firefox? Not sure if userscripts work there or not.
Yep, Tampermonkey is available on Firefox mobile
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.
Yeeeeaaaah boi! I just installed this and it's awesome! Thank you thank you thank you :-)
I made a version that makes the instance name normal weight instead of bold. Think it looks better that way.
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.
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.

Very cool and very needed!
