Small list of userscripts that improve the Kbin experience

I've been trying out several userscripts for Kbin recently, which have made the website way more enjoyable than it already was. I wanted to share them with my fellow Kbin users.

To use these scripts, you'll need an userscript manager. I use Greasemonkey on my PC on Firefox myself, and Tampermonkey on my phone. You can find recommendations for your browser on the Greasy Fork home page.

These are the scripts that I've been using:

There are many more interesting scripts on Greasy Fork, like this alternative sidebar.

After installing scripts you like, I recommend checking the settings of the scripts and change the settings to whatever you prefer. The settings can often both be found under the little cog icon on the right side of the page, just like the official Kbin settings.

Feel free to share you favorite userscripts or add-ons and enjoy!

E: @minnieo, the creator of Kbin Kibby Avatars, just shared this very nice userstyle for the side bar to make it look even better.

E2: The author of both Kbin Usability Pack and the Kbin Subscription Panel, @Perry, just fixed the issue I was having with the "alternative sidebar". It is working as intended now and it has some very nice extra functionality and settings. It also works perfectly on mobile. I would recommend trying out both and see which one you like most.

  • Thanks! I already had kES installed, but I just got the floating subs list, and I kind of like it.

    • You're welcome! I really like the sidebar as well! It makes it way easier to see which Magazines I'm subscribed to and to quickly switch to them. Since I've installed that userscript I've been visiting separate Magazines a lot more, instead of just scrolling through my home page.

      KUP also goes great with KES so far, they complement each other nicely. Best thing to me about KUP is the inline previews of articles. That was one of my favorite features of RES back on Reddit, so I'm excited to see an equivalent on Kbin :)

      • I'm just thrilled that I discovered last week that TamperMonkey works with Safari, and all four of these scripts installed into it without issue.

        • I didn't even know Safari has extension support nowadays. Great to hear it all works without issue, it's such an improvement!
