Setting up the Advanced Web Interface for Mastodon - Full use of wide screens 

Have now figured out a way to make my laptop settings for the mastodon Web Client really sharp – it is using the FULL screen width, but without the madness of the multi-pane, 3 pulsating Feeds running simultaneously which is kind of the Default when you enable it.

I have prepared a detailed Tutorial, with step by step notes, screenshots to help people wanting a similar setup.

Due to the amount of images, and the placement of them and the text, I used QOTO's Discourse Forum for the post.

Will be preparing a Blog post with same content later today. Hope you enjoy, the Forum post is Visible to Anyone, to reply there you need a free account registration.

Setting up the Advanced Web Interface for Mastodon - Full use of wide screens 

I have made crossposts of the thread at the Mothership, mastodon.social, and asked our lead developer, Eugene, to look at the wasted space that happens in many cases -- see the orange highlighted space on screenshot below.

Mothership thread has link to this one, and is located at : mastodon.social/@design_RG/103

...if anyone wants to follow in case Eugene responds (he's very busy, possibly won't)

Screenshot below is what happens in various instances with AWI enabled, unfortunately.

I know of TWO instances so far (QOTO and another) that allow this optimal, full screen usage as shown in first post screenshot.
