/kbin has been getting some great updates lately (e.g., improved magazine search, translation improvements, backend stuff that I’m too stupid to understand). But this all has me wondering: when might we see a list of subscribed magazines?
Of course, there are a few userscripts that add subscriptions panels, and tmk frontend stuff isn’t particularly high priority. Even so, a built-in subscriptions list would lower the barrier to entry for a lot of people. Is it something that might be added soon, or it will be a long while?
@ernest If you don’t mind, I’d like your input on this
There’s a page to see only entries from subscribed magazines: https://kbin.social/sub you can get to it by the hamburger on the top bar
And a page to see the magazines you subscribe to: https://kbin.social/settings/subscriptions/magazines which appears in user settings
Do you mean something else by list of subscribed magazines?
Ooo, I had no idea about the second one. That’s what I mean by a subscriptions list, but… why is it in a settings tab? That’s super unintuitive and means you have to go to the settings page and select a specific tab just to navigate to a subscribed magazine.
Yes, this list of subscribed magazines should be in a panel in the right sidebar (it’s a heck of a lot more valuable than panels for random magazines and random posts) instead of buried several levels down in menus.
@RoboRay - there’s a link to it right there in your profile, super easy to use.

On a mobile it takes me 6 screen presses, some of which are scrolling sideways… I agree it’s not hard, but it’s also not fast.
As it is I’ve created a separate shortcut my home screen, this is quicker & easier to access.
I think putting a subscriptions link above ‘Notifications’ in the profile drop-down menu would be quite helpful.
I agree we need the function but how does it take you 6 presses??
For me on mobile it’s 1) click on my name > 2) swipe menu sideways > 3)click on subscriptions.
Or from the top menu 1) click on my picture > 2) click profile> 3) swipe > 4) click on subscriptions
That’s better, but it’s still quite unintuitive and unnecessary. You have to go the profile page and (if you’re on mobile) scroll right to something you can’t see to find your subscriptions. I way prefer using a subscriptions panel (which I’m doing with a userscript), and it rlly should be a vanilla feature.
It’s there, yes, but not “super easy to use” as it requires multiple clicks to get to it.
The list of subscriptions should be exposed directly in the main view.
Take a look at KES and the option
Navbar > Add subs to navbar, which puts a direct link at the top of the page.
