images on the left side would make kbin easier to read

see attached image, but basically having the images on the right side makes it so hard to "read" a post with an image, going back and forth with your eyes to "get" the whole post. So much easier to just put the images between the up-/downvote buttons and the text post.

I don't know if there's a reason for that besides looking different from similar sites. If so, I don't think this is the way, it really puts a strain on your eyes and our brain is not used to absorb information in this way.

Is there a way to save threads? I haven't seen a built-in save or bookmark feature. I browse mostly on mobile so I didn't know if my only course of action was to open threads in separate tabs and bookmark them old school style.

The one suggestion I've seen as another workaround is to use 'boost' since there's a spot in your profile that lists everything you've boosted. Of course that's not actually the intended purpose. I think boost is supposed to be like a retweet but kbin doesn't (currently?) really use it in any way. Although Mastodon or others might if you have followers from those platforms, not really sure.
