I just switched from Ubuntu 23.10 to Debian 12 (using X11) if that helps. I didn't have this problem in Ubuntu.

Are you using Firefox within a flatpak perchance ?
There seems to be a bug to it relating to use of bitmap fonts, you can fix the issue by disabling them via a config file in firefox's fonts: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621915
From your other responses, this is a system issue not a problem with the website.
Lemmy.world's code has this font list for sans-serif: system-ui,-apple-system,"Segoe UI",Roboto,"Helvetica Neue","Noto Sans","Liberation Sans",Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol","Noto Color Emoji"
I'd use the dev tools to check which font is being rendered. I'm on Windows so I get Segoe UI, which I find entirely acceptable.
Fixed the issue by going tothis link (posted by @Tzeentch), https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621915, and implementing the solution mentioned by user, Pablo:
Bruh, I read "font" as "front" in title and was confused as to why you were listing your os specs
Back in the day, debian used to render fonts badly to avoid a potential patent trap. Is that still a thing?
All of the ClearType patents are expired, so that's not an issue anymore. OP probably just has anti-aliasing turned off for some reason.
I'm getting old, it seems. Kids these days probably don't even have to configure modlines in XFree86. Sheesh. ;)
I'm having the same issue on other sites as well (not all but some). Does this have something to do with Frefox and MS fonts?
