Two missing features in kbin: Collapse comments and quick preview of images/videos (kbin.social)

While using kbin, I realized that I keep going back to a Lemmy instance because it lacks two important features Lemmy (and Reddit) have:

Collapse comments
Quick preview of text, images and videos (single click to thumbnail)

Can this be added or is there a browser extension available adding these features?

I know there are many more features which are requested or planned, but these two are important basic features what makes browsing the community easier and quicker.

Yes!! Bring collapsible comments please! So far I am enjoying the experience. I do all my Kbin reading on phone using Safari. The web app is working well if only I could collapse comments I probably could go a long time like this until hopefully an app is released.

Collapsible comments is going to come at some point.

With the help of ChatGPT I made a userscript that enables collapsing comments and their children:

It adds a little chevron you can click next to the time in the header of comments.
