For me flair is probably the most important. I follow a lot of organized sports and being able to quickly identify which team someone supports helps the conversation move along without having to write "as a fan of..." in every single comment. And this isn't a like talking shit, sports guy thing. It's genuinely extremely useful for broadening the depth of the conversation.

Also not having to scroll to find the reply box. Super annoying. Super easy fix.

That being said I'm all in on kbin. Deleted Reddit. Not going back.

  1. Greater attention to user anonymity. For example, right now, you can look at any thread/comment and see who upvoted it and who downvoted it. In addition to causing arguments and drama, it also can be used to build a profile of what a user likes or dislikes - which can have significant ramifications for many people. Users need to be able to trust in certain aspects of anonymity and have control over what information they allow to be public. That also includes public access to know who follows a particular user as well.

  2. The ability to save threads and comments.

  3. The ability to expand/collapse comment trees.

  4. Better moderation tools, including the ability to be notified when new threads are created in a magazine you moderate.

  5. The titles to threads need to directly link to the linked URL instead of opening the kbin comments page. You shouldn't need to go through twice the effort to get to the linked URL. It also adds twice the load for the kbin servers.

I'd like the ability to inline expand images / videos, it was a great RES feature.

Easier way to sub to magazines than scrolling to the bottom on mobile would also be a corker.

Agreed, this is one of the creature comforts I miss the most.
