It's weird, for the past few weeks I've been trying to switch from reddit to lemmy but something wasn't quite there... I couldn't tell what but I tried all sorts of apps and even the old.reddit style lemmy. After finding this app I can finally say I feel 0 reason to go back to reddit, great work! Kinda dumb but I decided my first post had to be about it since this is the reason for me to be on lemmy now. Also, is it just me or does it adapt to ultrawide resolutions? I've never dreamed to have a better experience browsing on ultrawide but here we are!

I did a poor job of explaining the overlay stuff. Here's a sample screenshot: https://files.catbox.moe/dk8gt3.png

In this case my browser is occupying around 4/5 of my screen horizontally and I'm using the column layout. You'll notice the text on the post title on the left doesn't adjust. It's not always though, as sometimes other posts with long titles look fine and adjust accordingly. Not really a big issue, I just wanted you to know in case the aesthetic bothers you.

Thanks for the responses for the other stuff. I understand some are limitations with lemmy itself. And good point on the search, at least I know what to do now if I need to narrow down queries.

Ohhh I see the issue. The title should overflow just fine, but when it's that squished and there are long user/community names that second line of text is so long it allows the title to get cut off. I'll have to play around with this.

Edit: I've got a fix ready. I'm working on too many things at once so it'll have to wait until I'm done with some some of the mod tool stuff I've been working on lol. It should look good until it gets narrow enough for the buttons to be squished, so a lot better.

Edit 2: fix released!
