Why is compact mode 'not supported'? (lemmy.ca)

I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it's not supported while they still support things like Pocket.

yes but active usage doesnt mean it was not used?

If their criteria was "at least 1 person uses it at all, sometimes" then it would not have been removed ๐Ÿค”

likely no maintenance effort at all.

The maintenance comes less from the code and more from making sure that every single menu added or changed in any way continues to behave correctly in three different sizes with themes and everything.

Firefox extremely reduced theming.

And as I said, nobody knows this exists because it is not promoted well, and now even hidden.
