What's the benefit of using Kbin over Lemmy? - feddit.nl

I see a very small minority of people using Kbin, but I don’t understand why. Is this just a coincidence and did some people choose Kbin over Lemmy or is there a good reason to use Kbin?

I like the UI better, like that it interacts with things like Mastadon, and, what was honestly the biggest thing, doesn't have a dumb auto-refresh I can't disable (which Lemmy did (at least for a while)).

They both have a lot of growing up to do. Not being able to collapse threads in kbin is driving me crazy; especially for long threads with many nested levels, I can't tell what is even top-level.

There's two different PRs with collapsible threads in codeberg. Fingers crossed one or the other get merged soon.

Add support for collapsable comment threads/trees on click

#### Resolves https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/9 ### Description When you click on the comment collapse/expand indicator, it will now collapse and hide all its children. If you click it again, it'll show all its children again. NOTE: I've opted for a simpler solution for nested comment threads (if you have a collapsed thread in another collapsed thread, expanding the one at a higher level will expand the whole thing, TODO: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/284) for now to get this out as a "V1" ### Testing Tested it by bashing locally on a thread's comments with various levels of nesting (gif attached). Also tested on user profile where comments show and there are no regressions. ### Demo GIFs ![mobile-demo](https://codeberg.org/attachments/bd4e816f-16a4-4881-8c0b-91a2dd321e9c) ![desktop-demo](https://codeberg.org/attachments/9e83ac86-0001-41bb-b2f2-60991705ffe6)

Nice! I knew about 167 but not 704. Here's hoping!
