+1 would love this feature. The font size is way too big right now IMO decreasing the amount of visible content, would love an option to condense it even further so you can see like 10-12 posts at a time in compact view

For me the font in compact view is fine but the font when you read a post or comment is a little too small for my taste and is harder to read as I need to focus a bit too much.
This shows why it should be a preference!
Also the line spacing in comments should be a tiny bit higher.
Font scaling is something that we’re actively seeking to solve. Hopefully we’ll have options for it soon. Accessibility is very important to all of us and we want to make our app as accessible as possible.
I've been reporting the font scaling stuff since the earlier builds, via TestFlight. I know the dev is working on them, because I see changes, but they tend to be both improvements and degradations. Most recent build revered font scaling support for the feed view, so everything is forced to a smaller font than I'm comfy with.
For accessibility's sake, setting defaults for people with unimpaired vision makes sense, but the app's text can and should respect the OS font scaling settings. Reddit blundered this in their own app by only suportting in-app font settings ("watermelon" is still to freaking small), whereas Apollo nailed it (by supporting OS font scaling).
Because Memmy is supporting a mainly text-oriented UI, supporting font scaling is pretty important to nail for accessibility.
