I hope Ernest gets well soon and can pass through all of these stuff, but I must add one point to this:
And finally, I really suggest getting some more admins for the instance.
And, as important as this, letting more people help with Kbin development.
It's impossible to maintain the code and develop new features, while dealing with all his personal life problems (which of course are a priority) and maintaining the instance all at once and almost alone.
Why not getting some help? I know that Ernest already said he has a problem trusting people, but come on, it's visible that this approach is not working and it’s not benefiting anyone.
Are there any plans for the feed to always show new posts that you haven't seen yet, just like the reddit feed?
I mean, every time I open the "hot" section, for example, I see the same posts that are trending, even when I've already seen them before. It'd be nice to be able to see only content I didn't saw yet, so people will be always receiving new content and raising their interest and engagement :)
EDIT: I'm not complaining about the experience, just making a suggestion and I wanna thank you (as always) for your awesome work with /kbin! It's for sure my favorite social network!
