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

    I hope so. The image you posted looks so much better than a thin column in the centre of the screen.
