The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

How do I set Lemmy to fully expand images? (self.nostupidquestions)

Right now, the only method I found is to click on the expando, then right click on the image and open it in a new tab. Is there a way to make it so I can just click it once? I can't imagine any possible scenario where I'd want to see a large but not full size image.

I'm using the browser on my computer if that's relevant.

Edit: I got it to work using the Stylus addon and:

.img-expanded:not(.banner, .avatar-overlay) {
    max-height: unset;
    max-width: 100vw;
    position: absolute;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
    outline: auto;
    outline-color: black;
    z-index: 1;
}

I also made it outline any expandos with:

/*Note: Links are exactly the same except without bg-transparent, so using not(bg-transparent) instead will outline the links instead of the expandos. Also, they're outlined orange unless you change it, so you could take that off, give them all outlines, and you can tell which they are based on the color.*/
.thumbnail.rounded.overflow-hidden.d-inline-block.position-relative.p-0.border-0.bg-transparent {
    outline: auto;
}

You could add .img-expanded { max-height: unset; } as a rule for your lemmy instance in the Stylus addon for browser. This will remove the height limiter for images.

[–] Archpawn 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried that. It still seems to be limiting the width. How can I make it so it can stretch from one side of the screen to the other?

[–] _HR_ 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This will allow maximum expansion, but will somewhat break display of the sidebar:

.col-lg-9, .col-md-8 {
    width: unset;
}

.container-lg, .container-md, .container-sm, .container {
    max-width: unset;
}

.offset-sm-3 {
    margin-left: unset;
}

I've only tested with a few [email protected] posts, and couldn't quickly find whether this would affect images in comments.

[–] Archpawn 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Changing .img-expanded { max-height: unset; } to .img-expanded:not(.banner):not(.avatar-overlay) { max-height: unset; } Fixes the banner and Lemmy icon, since they're listed as .img-expanded for some reason. I'm hoping to figure out how to make it overlay the image on top of the sidebar, or at least only push it away while the image is opened.

How is this not a solved problem? Am I the only person who cares about seeing the image at a larger resolution?

[–] _HR_ 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nice.

How is this not a solved problem?

Tradeoffs I'd imagine. Lemmy devs need to prioritize between lots of things that absolutely need to be addressed first (like the recent vulnerabilities), and as a result relatively "minor" issues like this gets stuck on the sidelines. In addition to that, "beauty is in the eye of beholder", so spending development time on this stuff when it might not even be acceptable to people is… well, wasteful.

That being said, the code is open source, so anyone can help and contribute improvements/fixes.

Am I the only person who cares about seeing the image at a larger resolution?

Definitely not. I didn't quite realize just how much of a difference this would make, but now that I've added it to CSS overrides it does make a huge difference. Thanks for pointing it out.

[–] Archpawn 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not just a Lemmy thing. Imgur has the same problem too, and the only reason it exists is for images.

Anyway, I don't think this fix is ideal, but I'm going to head to a CSS community to get it working properly.

[–] Archpawn 1 points 1 year ago

I improved the fix and edited the post to show it. Now it doesn't mess with the sidebar and leaves the margin on the left for everything but images. And I added something to outline expandos. I'm tired of accidentally opening links. I really wish they weren't opened the same way, but that's not something i can fix with CSS.

[–] _HR_ 1 points 1 year ago

For images inside comments (also can break sidebar):

.md-div img { max-height: unset; }

Mobile?

[–] _HR_ 1 points 1 year ago

Eh. Mozilla insists that you have to jump through loops and hoops just to be able to install whatever addons you please on mobile Firefox. For teh "better user experience" or whatever.

[–] Archpawn 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was able to do this the first time, but I can't figure out how to get back to the page to add styles to Stylus. I'm using Chrome. I noticed that some other extensions have extension options when you click on them, but Stylus doesn't have that. It has Site settings and Open extension website, which look like they might be relevant but aren't.

[–] _HR_ 1 points 1 year ago

Clicking on the extension in the browser bar shows menu that can be used to access/create rules, but I'm using Firefox.
