So I recognize that these preferences are going to be different for everyone. I've been enjoying my time here thus far but occasionally I look at other instances to see what their native look and feel is like, or to more easily see if they have communities I'm interested in subscribing to. Most of them look pretty similar but I've only just looked at kbin.social and I find the layout far more attractive.

To be more specific, I find it's use of horizontal space more appealing. There's less dead space left on my widescreen monitor. The fonts are collectively a little smaller and less bold, so I feel like I can browse more content in between scrolls. The usage of space here feels more suitable to a mobile format, in my opinion. I'm not terribly interested in picking up and moving just for the sake of readability, so it would be nice if there were more options we could implement locally.

I don't like bringing attention to deficiencies without having anything useful to contribute, but if I knew a way around this problem I would have implemented it (and I'm still trying but there are precious few worthwhile resources for this in Brave/Chromium), and I feel others could benefit from this topic being raised. I would love to hear what you think.

this is the way.

I've updated it for mobile/handheld as well.
