As scrolling to the bottom of the page to leave a comment can be a hassle on posts with lots of existing comments, an option to put the thread comment box above existing comments would be helpful.

If people are going to migrate to Kbin or Lemmy from Reddit, given the substantial downsides in doing so for the average Reddit user when comparing community user counts, minimizing differences — or at least giving users the option to do so themselves — might be helpful. While I wouldn't rejoin Reddit even if there weren't any alternatives, it would certainly be great if the alternatives had even a tenth the number of active communities Reddit still has.

To that effect, it would also helpful if there were a toggle to automatically upvote one's own posts and comments.

In cataloguing my collection as a means of quickly knowing what I have and haven't yet acquired, resolution is one of the variables I make note of. While most movie releases are at best 2160p and most TV releases are at best 1080p (with those in 2160p having inconsistent season availability at that resolution), a fraction of my collection remains below that, usually at 480p or 720p. While not much can be done for 480p content without the studios themselves rescanning them at a higher resolution, it seems that some 720p releases alternatively have 1080i releases less-commonly available as well. Assuming both resolutions are available, is there a feasible way to convert 1080i releases to a distortion-free 1080p equivalent, or is sticking with 720p the better option?

As neither public nor easily-accessible private torrent trackers are actively seeding some of the releases on my list, I was wondering if usenet may have at least some of them. Before getting usenet indexer and provider subscriptions, however, I had several questions:

1. Is there a means to browse usenet content availability prior to subscribing to an indexing service as a means of determining whether or not enough releases from my list are available to make the effort worthwhile?

2. What is the optimal combination of usenet indexer/provider services and how worthwhile would waiting until Black Friday to get either service be?

Edit: Did a bit more research, deciding on Frugal Usenet as an initial usenet provider, NZBGet as a download client, and sourcing NZBs from NZB Finder after finding that it had more releases from my list than NZBPlanet or NZBGeek. Still haven't found most of the remaining releases from my list, however, so if there are better usenet providers or indexers than the ones I've tried so far, I'd be glad to try them!

Edit 2: In trying to figure out why my usenet files were getting stuck at 0.71 MB I decided to add a NewsDemon block account to the mix (with the well-hidden reddit50 code seemingly cutting the cost of any such plan in half). Don't think it made a difference, as the files ended up being repaired and extracted by NZBGet after a subsequent refresh, but hopefully the extra provider will come in useful with rarer releases, if I can find anything else.

Thanks for the help!
