I’ve been trying out several userscripts for Kbin recently, which have made the website way more enjoyable than it already was. I wanted to share them with my fellow Kbin users.
To use these scripts, you’ll need an userscript manager. I use Greasemonkey on my PC on Firefox myself, and Tampermonkey on my phone. You can find recommendations for your browser on the Greasy Fork home page.
These are the scripts that I’ve been using:
There are many more interesting scripts on Greasy Fork, like this alternative sidebar.
After installing scripts you like, I recommend checking the settings of the scripts and change the settings to whatever you prefer. The settings can often both be found under the little cog icon on the right side of the page, just like the official Kbin settings.
Feel free to share you favorite userscripts or add-ons and enjoy!
E: @minnieo, the creator of Kbin Kibby Avatars, just shared this very nice userstyle for the side bar to make it look even better.
E2: The author of both Kbin Usability Pack and the Kbin Subscription Panel, @Perry, just fixed the issue I was having with the “alternative sidebar”. It is working as intended now and it has some very nice extra functionality and settings. It also works perfectly on mobile. I would recommend trying out both and see which one you like most.
The subs panel was discussed a while back but personally I’m super invested in it. I’m pushing to have it introduced in the next build.
Even though there’s a lot of things in the sidebar, I think having a dedicated “here’s your magazines” section is super handy. A lot of the new functionally requires most of the other contributors also to agree on it. I find it’s easier to introduce a basic function (e.g. a list of magazines) and then adding extra functionally on it like sorting and searching in subsequent tickets.
Always keen to hear from users about what they would find useful / helpful
