Did you know that you can change the default layout of messages in timelines with #Fedilab?

- For more compact messages: Settings>Theming> disable "Elevated cards"

- You can remove the left margin in Settings>Interface

- You can aggregate action icons on the left side. (Same settings: "Compact action buttons")

- You can also display counters, hide/show bookmark and translate buttons at the bottom.

- You can even request a Pixelfed view for messages having media.
