Namecheap is still good, and honestly very well priced. The main issue is that they don't support automated DNS verification for things like let's encrypt certbot.

This is because they make money selling SSL certs.

If you can live without wildcard certs, or are willing to update them manually, it's fine.

So far I'm between Kbin, Tildes, Squabbles, Fark and Something Awful forums.

I'd like an invite to Tildes as they're pretty cool over there, plus that UI is so calming.

(Thank you for the invite!)

I was thinking this as well, lol. I've gone from a reddit lurker to an active contributor!

I'm no longer in the sadness stage of grief, now I am angry. I have thought of all the stupid things they've done since I joined in 2018

First they made the awful new layout

Then they promised to implement css in new reddit, only to never do so

Then they introduced too many award variations, and made it so people could get them for free, removing what value the awards had.

Then they made customizable snoos, which while cute were uneccesary.

Then they introduced, barely advertised, then killed reddit cspan. Never heard of it? Can't blame you!

Then the introduced NFT avatars.

Then they did that awful april fools arg that was so hidden only a few did it and those who found the answer found it on discord. Also the answer was reddit was run on a literal potato which seems to be truer by the day.

Then they did this API shit.

During all that time where they could have introduced features that were useful to their app and fixing up the cruft with new reddit, they slaked off in order to increase profits. Only two features that were useful were ever introduced during 2018 - 2023: polls and gallery uploads. That's it.

So I am sad for the communities, but reddit itself? Nah.

Two questions: Is there any plan to add the ability to collapse comment chains? That's, like, the one big UI thing from Reddit that I'm missing. The other question is, is having the comment box for adding a top level comment at the bottom an intentional design choice, to encourage people to read the threads before commenting? I think at the very least adding a shortcut to take users to the comment box near the top would go a long way to improving usability.

Other than that, if the goal is to be a replacement for Reddit refugees, my first impressions are that this has the right recipe. Very impressive work so far.

How can I do SPOILERS here on KBin ? I've tried all the usual markdown tags and none work

What is the difference between boosts and upvotes?

Is there a way to collapse comment threads? Can something like that be added please.
