    Is there a way to make use of all the white space? I don’t understand why the content is restricted to such a small portion of the page.

      I agree with you about the whitespace, and your post made me realize that there is a dark mode. Thanks for that.

        I actually have an extension on my browser called Dark Reader that makes all websites dark for me. So I didn’t even know there was a dark mode either.

        Could really use a pure black mode. For OLED and night. Seems like an easy and major improvement.

      I originally asked this question because I’m new to Lemmy and wasn’t sure if I was missing something about why the design was this way. I didn’t know if there was some setting or other way to modify to get it to have a different design.

      Having looked into it a bit more, just seems there isn’t a way to do it ourselves, perhaps as the userbase expands there might be someone who eventually develops extensions.

      What I have noticed is there’s apparently other Lemmy instances that run a different UI, but maybe they aren’t really federated with everyone else. Hexbear.net was one I just found out about. Basically I’m wondering if anyone knows of other instances that are part of the fediverse.

        I’m actually really curious about hexbear as well. It’s a pretty different place over there…

        Do Lemmy servers publish their federation lists?

      Would be cool if Images I click could expand into that space

      I understand why they might like to constrain the column, but it would be nice if there was an option to turn that off and let you just control the width yourself by sizing the browser window.
