What features you may be missing from reddit would you like to see? (kbin.social)

What the title says. I think the site needs to reach critical mass sooner rather than later, and on top of the relatively low activity for now, we want to avoid obstacles to new migration, even if it's small convenience stuff. So, what would make your life easier as a kbin user?

Personally, I know I use the save button a lot for important resources and future reference. Even twitter has bookmarks! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's anywhere to be found. It's also my feeling that a lot of people would prefer the boost feature to be an effect of upvoting instead of a separate button. It makes sense as a kind of "retweet" thing for microblogging, but on the threads side, it doesn't really work with the magazine-centered instead of user-centered feed.

(not sure this is the right place for this discussion, but this is currently the largest mag about kbin itself, above kbin and kbinmeta)

Upvotes on kbin also function as favorites. So everything you've upvoted is now logged in your favorite tab - essentially a bookmark.

Is that what you mean?

I personally would love it if the OP of a thread was highlighted in the comment section. Small QoL but it drives me crazy not being able to quickly differentiate who OP is in the comment chain.

Some have been suggested already but here's mine:
Collapse or hide comment thread/child comments.
Jump to top
Highlight OP in the comments

EDIT: Didn't meant to reply to you @bluGill. Still getting used to Kbin.

A simple "context" button on comments in one's profile or inbox would be nice instead of having to click "copy url" and paste it back into the address bar to go back to the thread you were talking in.

Collapsing comment threads would be really nice.

Yeah I was thinking that like "moods" somtimes I want my "news" mags, other times I want memes.i had to block meme mags as they were taking over but might have a different account for them if I can't swap between meme mode and news/tech articles.
