    Lemmy makes its image previews proportional rather than squashing them into a square, as kbin presently does, for one.

      Well that’s a thing! I had noticed that but not thought much on it. i imagine Earnest has that on his todo list already, but there’s a lot on there!

        Heh. Last I looked there were 49 open PRs for him to review. I dunno if he’s going to have a chance to actually code himself if he has to also be reviewing all the patches people are sending him.

        I also saw something recently saying that he handed off the server admin work to someone.

        EDIT: Apparently he’s not the only one reviewing.

            Yes, the pictures are incredibly annoying. This is a simple change and will be one of the first ones. Now that we’ve managed to relatively control the situation, I’m taking some time off. I’ll be back at full speed starting from Monday morning :)

              Thanks for all the work you put in Earnest! I’m new to kbin but I’ve been enjoying my time here and am looking forward to spending more.
              Also, love the MP avi :D

              For anyone reading on mobile.

              You can change that in the clog wheel tyat shows when you click on KBin on the top left. Make sure auto show the media is marked as yes, instead of the Thumbnail.

              Wait, is your idea of “taking some time off” just having an evening to yourself? You posted this on sunday afternoon!

      What’s funnier is that Kbin squashes them into a square and then seem to stretch that square into some strange almost 3:2 landscape format.

      I tried to add some custom CSS with Tampermonkey to fix the thumbnails, and was extremely confused until I realised what was happening.
