As requested by some users: ‘old’ style now accessible via https://old.lemmy.world
Code can be found here: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym , created by Ryan (Is he here?) (Yes he appears to be! @nnrx@sh.itjust.works ! Thanks for this awesome front-end!)
It’s not a matter of touch screens, but high resolution screens. The text of the “old” layout looks way too small for my taste on screens >1080p to the point that I struggle to see why people would actively go after instead of a layout that makes good use of white space.
Also, it’s not even like you’re making a better use of space when the right side of the screen is entirely empty.
