Omg that is beautiful! Yes as you say that particular style of image was really hard to get working as Lemmy likewise struggled with it - perhaps you arrived at the same or similar solution, but even if yours is a totally different solution that’s awesome that you’ve already cracked it!:-)

I’ve been trying to keep a list of things I am experiencing, though some of it were things that I encountered on a smaller Lemmy instance as well, like delays in federation - e.g. I pulled in this post https://piefed.social/post/295422 but it shows (to me) as having zero comments, when in reality it should have 18. Though I am guessing that there is a quite good chance that it may catch up in the next day or two. I also tried to “leave” and then re-“join” some communities, in case that may help trigger the federation action to pull from the original host.

Hey I have a question that you may enjoy, and if not then that’s okay to tell me too:-). On a Mac desktop using Chrome, I cannot simply do the left-swipe to use the “back button” to return to a previous page. That works on Lemmy, but not PieFed. Although moving the mouse way up to the actual Back button works, as does keyboard shortcuts (command-leftarrow). And the same for right-swipe / Forward button. I am not sure if I am even using the correct terminology there but I hope that helps:-). It seems so silly, but since it is something that I may do tens of times each hour, possibly multiple times per minute at peak, I find that it really slows down the navigation. Is that something that others have mentioned and/or that could perhaps be fixed, or is this something too deeply ingrained in how the UI works? Making for a “smoother experience” seems like it would be a good thing if possible though.

And either way, I hope this conversation is interesting to you:-).
