Earnest replied to me saying he knows about this and will fix it soon (apparently it should be an easy fix), but he's taking the day off - I'd say he deserves it! https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin/t/49301/Hello-from-Lemmy-How-s-life-there-over-on-the-other#entry-comment-210607
edit: yeah okay I'm bragging that Earnest-Senpai noticed me... Oh dear
I've just disabled thumbnails and have it auto-load media. It's not a direct 1-to-1, but has a very similar look to Apollo then.
I’m also hoping we’ll get a way to expand the image while still embedded in the feed instead of opening it in fullscreen and having it block everything else
You can already do this by clicking on the photo icon right next to the "X comments" link. You can also do this with video.
Is that what you were looking for?
I actually did not know that! It’s a little hard to tell that icon is actually a button with a function. Still used to Reddit’s layout I guess :’)
Literally just today the thumbnails seem fixed. Anyone else or just me?
Edit: Nevermind, it looks like the thumbnail aspect ratio was made more square and thumbnails stretch to fill the space. That's good for mostly square images, but tall vertical images now get squished into the square space.
Ok now I realize that the image I just posted might seem squished, but open it fullsize: I think those thumbnails are now proper ratio.
Example where this new update doesn't work so well: this is a vertical camera shot of some scallops, they look squished.
The other little things that bug me about card layout:
My husband called this out on me when I was trying to get him to use this.
"why are all the pictures hamburger sized" I laughed
I had been wondering whether that was just me. Kind of odd aspect ration for the vast majority of thumbnails too.
I don't think that's related, that's just the fact that avatars are square and whatever you upload as an avatar gets resized into a square. You'll need to crop your photo to a square before uploading to get a better fit.
I use iOS safari. This is literally the one thing I’m not liking about Kbin. Is there a plan to fix?
Squabbles ones are worse for this. Thumbnails on both these sides feel completely useless though as the image is right below the title anyway.
