I really wanted something similar so I threw a quick and dirty tampermonkey script together to fetch the subscriptions from the settings page. I think it worked out pretty alright.
Edit: Someone else can probably do something a lot better, but here is the code: https://pastebin.com/P0mR9QL6
Paste it into a new script and call the
addSubscriptionsSidePanel()function to run it.Edit2: I’ve uploaded it to Greasy Fork so that you can install it directly: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469139-kbin-subscriptions-panel
I’m not entirely sure how to properly ping users, but I’ve updated the comment with a pastebin with the code. https://pastebin.com/P0mR9QL6
Thanks for sharing, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. Even with my other scripts turned off. Looking at your screenshot, is that Safari on IOS? Maybe an OS specific issue as I’m on Windows using Firefox. Not pressuring you to fix it, just letting you know it might not work on other platforms.
No worries, it’s my first published Tampermonkey script so there are probably a lot of quirks that should be ironed out.
I’m using Chrome on MacOS. Which extension are you using? I’ve only tested this in Tampermonkey and I did read somewhere that Greasemonkey may have dropped support for the GM_addStyle() function which I’m using.
If possible, it would really help if you could post any errors that you might be getting in the web inspector console.
Ahh I am on Greasemonkey. Let me try Tampermonkey.
EDIT: It worked on Tampermonkey, thanks for the tip.
Awesome! Glad it worked.
Do share, this would be a great boon for a lot of us while something similar get officially implemented.
link to script?
Made a script that does it, here’s a link if anyone’s interested: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469121-floating-subs-list
Note that it’ll only work on screens wider than 1136px.Hey I installed this and it’s working fine, so thank you! But the communities outside of kbin that I’m subscribed to are not showing up at all, even though they’re listed under my subscriptions in my profile. Is there a setting I missed somewhere?
This is amazing! It basically recreates my reddit browsing experience and makes the whole site so much easier to navigate!
I can see references in the code to “sort alphabetically” (which would be very welcome!)… but I can’t see the button. Did that function not make it into this version of the script?
Thanks again!
Huh, are you running version 0.2 of the script? I pushed the sorting update not too long ago and I don’t currently have it configured to auto-update. If you are up to date, would you mind telling me your browser and which monkey extension you’re using?
Excellent, thanks for the sorting option!
Does this only list kbin magazines? I see a couple lemmy subscriptions there, but not nearly all of them.
I think the problem is that the subscription page (that the script gets its items from) is paginated, and the script will only get the items on the first page.
Ahh, ok, that makes sense. Thanks!
The whole paginated thing needs to go away, platform wide.
How can I turn it on?
it’s a mock-up, if you missed comment below
Oh, well. Thanks.
😂
It’s a good sign that Kbin is developing rapidly when even ernest loses track of what features it has. :)
I think @ernest was just being cheeky. Kbin hasn’t changed much UI wise since the reddit explosion started. It’s been mostly under the hood, trying to keep the ship upright in the rocky storm of users.
You’ve got to buy it dinner first!

We know you’re working hard… this would be nice to have but we appreciate you and all you do.
@shazbot created a nice -monkey script that puts a link to your subscriptions at the top, which I’ve found super useful. Install it with Greasemonkey or Tampermonkey from here: https://github.com/aclist/kbin-scripts/raw/main/subs.user.js
I want the ability to customize the top bar with the magazines I want to be able to quickly access. It’s a feature that is in RES you can shortcut any subreddit to be on the top bar.
Honestly, I feel like Kbin is missing RES type of extension. Meanwhile, I found some good scripts on GreasyFork for Tampermonkey that scratch some missing features while browsing kbin.
The only reason for RES is that Reddit is closed-source.
Yes please! This + multi-magazines (like multi-reddits) would complete this site for me. Well, that and 2FA.

some one made this and posted it to kbinstyles - its wokring and looks good too!
Opinions?
And another example.deleted by creator
A real problem I’ve had since I got here is that many of the communities I want to engage with are quite small, and so their posts get drowned out on my ‘subscribed’ page by posts from the bigger communities I’m subscribed to. I need a quick way to get to them so I can view their content, and at the moment getting to them is far too convoluted.
You can change your homepage in settings to subscribed. So whenever you hit home it takes you to your subbed page. I keep on it All for now since so many magazines are empty but as the site fills out I will switch it to subbed.
Unfortunately a) that doesn’t work for me on mobile, only desktop (seems like a few people have reported the same issue, it keeps reverting to all so I have to manually go to my subscribed page each time) and b) that doesn’t help anyway as I’m subscribed to a mix of big and small communities - so what I’m looking for is a way to go direct to one of the smaller communities (as I could on Reddit) because they get drowned out on my subscribed page.
