Brilliant. I love it. I wish it wasn't necessary to use a Greasemonkey script to accomplish it, but this solves my #1 gripe with Lemmy.

Sweet, more things I've never heard of!

That said, glancing through how GM works is actually pretty slick, I may use more of these scripts! Thanks again!

edit: eh, the pop-in is definitely not ideal... but I guess it be wat it be.

Can confirm this works great. Fixes so much wasted space for desktop users.

This is great! I’m eagerly watching what people are doing with the ui.

I'm using that which makes Lemmy look so much better.

I changed the main container width to 65%, though because I felt like it was too narrow.

.container-lg {
    max-width: 65%;
}

so far I'm using the greasemonkey solution and it's mostly good. the pop-in of the style changes are a bit annoying but it's a minor issue.
