I tried looking around for a changelog but I couldn’t find one anywhere (let me know if you know where it is, I know you can look at the commits/merged PRs on Codeberg but there’s a lot to dig through).

Here’s some of the changes I’ve noticed:

  • Profile picture next to username in top right
  • Comments can now be sorted by “top”
  • Larger image preview when uploading an image
  • Magazine stats are now localized (yay!!!)
  • kbin logo instead of stormtrooper in the “Create your own instance” box
  • Vote colors are brighter on dark mode
  • New theme: Tokyo Night

This is just what I’ve seen after using the site for a bit after the update, let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed!

Edit: I just noticed that you can filter posts by language now, that’s huge!

    Is there a link to reinstall the PWA? I’m not getting prompted for it.

      I think you just long-press on the /kbin icon on your phone and choose uninstall. Then next time you go there, your browser will prompt to install it again.

        Yeah mine isn’t prompting me again to reinstall, is why I ask

      Basically if you’re on Android, the PWA is built by a manifest.json file that tells Android how to launch the PWA and what it looks like. Every interval (apparently once a day) the PWA apparently pulls in a new version and updates itself, however I’ve found it really inconsistent.

      Literally long pressing on it, selecting uninstall and then visiting kbin.social and pressing the install button is 100% guaranteed to work.

      I did that today and got the new fancy icons and shortcuts:)
