Edit 2: LOL I guess I stuck a nerve. I can't believe I'm the only one who does this! But apparently I'm the weird one... ๐Ÿ˜…

Edit 3: Seriously I do not understand why everyone is so upset. I saw a problem, and offered a fix. Fuck me for trying to help people, I guess...


Holy shit, dude, I can't even tell what this post is about because your UI is blown up way too big and it's distracting me!

Please, allow me to show you how to fix this: Go into Developer Options, and then do a search for "minimum width" (sometimes it's called "smallest width", depending on the device), and increase that number until you can actually fit a decent amount of content on the screen. A setting around 450-550dp works best on most screens.

Edit: When configured properly, your UI will look like this. Please note all the extra room for activities! I've got nearly double the amount of screen real estate, compared to what you're looking at!

    Funny you say that because your UI scaling looks exactly the same as mine when I scale your screenshot to fit my screen.

    BTW, what's with all that wasted whitespace in your Lemmy app? You could easily fit twice as many posts there!

    Or maybe some of us have normal sized phones

    My phone has a 5.7" screen which is about as normal as it gets. It's the very first thing I change when I get a new phone.

    It's okay to be embarrassed because you didn't know about the setting.

    Are you this condescending to everyone you talk to?

    Hey, I wasn't the one making the "stupid waste of time", and sarcastic "normal-sized phone" comments. Y'all started with the insults first.

    Don't dish it out if you can't take it. If you're nice to me, I'm nice back. If you're not, then I'm not. It's not complicated. Be nice.

    And sorry for trying to help. I saw a legitimate problem, and just thought OP might me interested in a fix. Fuck me for trying to be helpful, right?

    Hell yeah! Whats the point in having ~2k resolution if everything in the UI gets blown up bigger than it was in the days of 640x480? Do your letters look that much smoother? Do you like only being able to fit a single sentence on screen at a time? If I'm paying for that screen real estate, I want to use it all!

    Don't be a dick; this is the very first setting I change when I get a new phone, and I can't be alone in this. So no, it's not a waste of time.

    You're the one being a dick to him about having normal settings on his phone. Pretending it's unreadable so you can be condescending about it.

    Dude I'm not the one who started with the insults. If you roast me, I roast you back. If you're nice, I'm nice back. Golden rule.

    I said nothing to inspire that "stupid waste of time" comment. I don't even understand why people are so heated about this when I was just trying to help... Are y'all upset because I'm easily excitable? My bad! That's just how I am!

    Quit your fucking crying. You were an asshole and got called out for it. Take your lumps and move on with your life and maybe learn a lesson or two.
