But really what's with the squished stretched thumbnails?

Known bug

This place already feels like home

Earnest replied to me saying he knows about this and will fix it soon (apparently it should be an easy fix), but he's taking the day off - I'd say he deserves it! https://kbin.social/m/AskKbin/t/49301/Hello-from-Lemmy-How-s-life-there-over-on-the-other#entry-comment-210607

edit: yeah okay I'm bragging that Earnest-Senpai noticed me... Oh dear

… and fixed. All hail the power of OP

I've just disabled thumbnails and have it auto-load media. It's not a direct 1-to-1, but has a very similar look to Apollo then.

Can't believe I didn't think of this. Looks so much better, thank you!

[–] watchdog@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m also hoping we’ll get a way to expand the image while still embedded in the feed instead of opening it in fullscreen and having it block everything else

[–] Grimlo9ic@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can already do this by clicking on the photo icon right next to the "X comments" link. You can also do this with video.

Is that what you were looking for?

[–] watchdog@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I actually did not know that! It’s a little hard to tell that icon is actually a button with a function. Still used to Reddit’s layout I guess :’)

Literally just today the thumbnails seem fixed. Anyone else or just me?

Edit: Nevermind, it looks like the thumbnail aspect ratio was made more square and thumbnails stretch to fill the space. That's good for mostly square images, but tall vertical images now get squished into the square space.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok now I realize that the image I just posted might seem squished, but open it fullsize: I think those thumbnails are now proper ratio.

[–] shazbot@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Affects inline images in posts, not thumbnails in the thread index

[–] VerifiablyMrWonka@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Wanted to see how far we could go :D

[–] albatros@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Same, it looks like it was just fixed.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Example where this new update doesn't work so well: this is a vertical camera shot of some scallops, they look squished.

[–] shazbot@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

See my script above, I have updated it to handle both cases (index thumbs and inline)

[–] cthonctic@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I had been wondering whether that was just me. Kind of odd aspect ration for the vast majority of thumbnails too.

[–] sik0fewl@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

The other little things that bug me about card layout:

  • Title should be at the top, not after image.
  • Title and image should be full width, not wrapped/shrunk due to up/downvote being in the way.

I hope this is a bug, as my avatar looks so fat. It is playing with my frail ego.

[–] Saturdaycat@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

My husband called this out on me when I was trying to get him to use this.

"why are all the pictures hamburger sized" I laughed

[–] YolkBrushWork402@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

So true lmao

[–] OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Squabbles ones are worse for this. Thumbnails on both these sides feel completely useless though as the image is right below the title anyway.

[–] cerpa@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I use iOS safari. This is literally the one thing I’m not liking about Kbin. Is there a plan to fix?
