Is there a way to customize what Mags are listed in the "Top Bar"?

3 years ago by Piogre to c/AskKbin

The settings tab in the sidebar allows me to "show top bar" but when I do, aside from the standard-seeming "All", "Subscribed" etc, this top bar lists a bunch of seemingly random mags (NorthVancouver? Telugu?). Is there a way to customize what's up there? Or at least set it to list my subscribed mags? As-is it's a bunch of mags I have no interest in.

Doesnt seem possible yet, but hope it gets added.
Having a handful of specific subreddits pinned at the top with RES is the thing Ive missed the most since moving over.

For the moment, on my phone, I just end up tapping subscribed on the top bar. On my desktop, in the bookmark that I have, I just added /sub to the link (kbin.social/sub).

Still new to kbin/fediverse as well. Just figuring things out myself with a lot of trial and error.

That's what I keep looking for, a way to scroll through my subscribed mags for one I want to visit right now.

Top right, click your user name and select profile. In the profile screen, right next to your user name scroll left for “subscriptions”

@Leeks

@Piogre @Izzgo this is how I do it. Best way to find the mags I’m subscribed to so far

Right, I know how to find my subscribed mags that way, but it's multiple clicks, meanwhile this top bar thing is just practically a waste of space

Oh yeah, the UX on that could definitely use some improvement, but remember Kbin is very young, the dev just went from 0 to plaid in 2 weeks and has been dealing with server size issues the whole time so there hasn’t been a ton of new development except bug fixes. If you can code, consider proposing a fix via a pull request.

That's completely valid, and I'm not trying to level a shot at the dev. I recognize that if this isn't currently done then it's not a priority over everything else; just wanted to see if it already was a feature and I was just ignorant to it.

That said, I did some looking and it looks like someone already opened a pull request for this

I don't think so, but you can get a customizable sidebar with subs with userscripts, for example like this:

https://kbin.social/...
https://kbin.social/...

The screenshot is from the top script.

Good question! Have been wondering the same myself for days now

I have yet to find an answer to this question either (nor an answer to what the Featured Magazine section in our Settings is for).

I feel like that's probably what Featured Magazines in the settings is supposed to do. But it doesn't seem implemented yet.
