Hmm, no, I don't think I like what appears to be inline metrics on the latest version of Mastodon, looking at other instances.

Making metrics less obvious was a good thing, actually.

I don't like that generally the newest version of Mastodon, looking at other instances, is maybe trying to more be inviting to Twitter users. It has trending now! Don't you want to engage with the popular stuff, like all the normies~?

... man I still wish shorter-than-wide images were collapsed vertically though. At least on awoo, any image I post always takes up a full 16:9 space.

Current solution works, but - with letterboxing on - it introduces a small space underneath any short images, and doesn't centre tall images.
With letterboxing off the small space vanishes, but instead seems to cut off rounded corners instead. May have other weirdness too, hrm.

.media-gallery{
height: unset !important;
min-height: 0px !important;
max-height: 309px !important;
}

ughhhhh trying to untangle this web app weird css is just not fun
someone else do it

Double ugh: turns out my CSS userstyle solution for thumbnail heights breaks spoilered/CW'ing images - collapses their height entirely and makes it look like there's no image there at all.
