What features you may be missing from reddit would you like to see? (kbin.social)

What the title says. I think the site needs to reach critical mass sooner rather than later, and on top of the relatively low activity for now, we want to avoid obstacles to new migration, even if it's small convenience stuff. So, what would make your life easier as a kbin user?

Personally, I know I use the save button a lot for important resources and future reference. Even twitter has bookmarks! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's anywhere to be found. It's also my feeling that a lot of people would prefer the boost feature to be an effect of upvoting instead of a separate button. It makes sense as a kind of "retweet" thing for microblogging, but on the threads side, it doesn't really work with the magazine-centered instead of user-centered feed.

(not sure this is the right place for this discussion, but this is currently the largest mag about kbin itself, above kbin and kbinmeta)

I'd like easy access to a donate button, for the federated instance (is that the right name?) I've joined. When I first joined I saw a way to donate, and made a small I-don't-know-if-I'm-staying donation. But now I'd like to donate a bit here and there and can't find a donate button.

Collapsing comment threads would be really nice.

A simple "context" button on comments in one's profile or inbox would be nice instead of having to click "copy url" and paste it back into the address bar to go back to the thread you were talking in.

@That_Mad_Scientist From what I can tell, we are currently missing an actual App for Android and iOS but also it would be good if we could have a Magazine back log to check if there are past posts on External ones hosted on places like Lemmy.
