this is the way.
I've updated it for mobile/handheld as well.
I get what you mean. It's not a big deal to me, but coming from something like old.reddit it's definitely not as nice IMO. Here is a sub that has some scripts you can use with the tampermonkey, etc. to change the appearance of the site. There's a guide Here with how to actually use them. Not a perfect solution, but if you're not intent on waiting (potentially for a while) it's your best bet to getting what you're looking for.
Yeah, I expected to be left to my own devices on this, but I figured the community is small enough that I should try to start a discussion where I see the opportunity for one. Ultimately I ended up learning how to make an extension named Stylus override the font family and size on the website. I find a lighter and smaller font does wonders for readability. The width isn't really a problem on it's own - I didn't realize how much I had the website zoomed out just to address the font problem, and it's very comfortable at 100-110% standard width.
In case anyone wants to follow my footsteps, my Stylus rule is very simple and easily modified for other websites.

}
}
Unfortunately, I can't get the editor here to play nice with code blocks, but I think you can infer the correct indentation. My font of choice is b612
, which was designed for readability in use on aircraft displays. Use your preferred font and modify the value of font-size
as needed.
