Is there a way to have Lemmy instances render in wide-screen mode (sort of like old reddit or older themes of Wikipedia)? I really dislike the default look of everything being in the center with tons of blank space on both sides (I use 1440p monitors).

For what it’s worth, I came up with the following Stylus css script to work on the lemmy.ml (also works on github.com for what it’s worth if you so choose):

.container,
.container-lg,
.container-md,
.container-sm,
.container-xl {
    max-width: 2560px !important;
}

.col-md-8 {
    flex: 0 0 85% !important;
    max-width: 85% !important;
}

.col-md-4 {
    flex: 0 0 15% !important;
    max-width: 15% !important;
}

Can just adjust max-width under the .container* options to whatever you want (I chose to set it to my monitor’s width). The col-md-8 and col-md-4 are for the main content and sidebar respectively, so I have main content at 85% of the width and sidebar at 15% of the width. Result looks similar to this: https://i.imgur.com/FMAZYbh.png

    That’s why it should be an option. I never thought it was harder on my own eyes to read long lines of text. If anything having big blank spaces on the left and right sides of the screen is more distracting to me.
