@davidgerard As layout goes, my first impression was: what's with all the white space? Maybe slated for future ads?

@liquor_american @mayintoronto @davidgerard I wonder if this is a browser or device specific rendering problem (error in `lh` overflow?), or if it's already been tweaked.

@davidgerard this is just like when lemmy decides that being up and not leaking memory is antirevolutionary behavior
@davidgerard opened up the ol' account to see what the fuss is over here and .... phew! i'm loving yet another case of "we consulted with the community" (the community on second sites with separate logins)
