Opposite for me. Didn't work in Chrome before, but now when I go back it holds my spot.

 

IMO, the default Lemmy style is ridiculous on desktop (especially widescreen). I saw a few posts on other servers with some Stylus CSS changes and they were a good start. I made a few changes to get rid of some of the crazy font sizes, padding/margin, and width.

The CSS: https://pastebin.com/b71sNaRe

Hopefully this makes things more bearable for a few people. (If you use dark mode, just delete lines 10, 11, and 12.)

 

This is turning into a deal breaker for me. It doesn't matter what instance I'm on, or what I have selected from the dropdown (or browser I'm using), but "new" posts are constantly flooding the feed list.

First, new posts shouldn't even show if I specifically select a different view. Second, they flood things so fast I can't even click on the things I'm interested in. If I look away from the page for 30 seconds it's just junk.

I've had two other people tell me they are seeing the same thing. Tested on MacOS and Windows. Chrome/Brave/Firefox/Safari.

Anyone have a fix?

 

Maybe I'm blind, but is there a setting to change the default sort method for comments? It always defaults to "hot" and I want to default to "top". It's kind of annoying to have to click "top" every single time I open a comment section.

Honestly it'll probably be closer to 99.999% of users will stick around Reddit. The largest Lemmy instance is smaller than the smallest subreddit I follow and I suspect that's probably the case for most people.

Here's what will happen... Reddit blackout starts, people come to Lemmy, 8 out of 10 are confused by the way things work and bail instantly. 2 out of 10 might stick around, try to sign up, but everyone hammers the top 3-4 instances and they have a bad first impression. A few days later everyone is back at Reddit and Lemmy is right back where it was a month ago.

I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt I will be.
