HI, the photo preview height is a bit too low, it cuts basically any meme and force you to click on them each time, can you add an height control or a disabile option in future version?
Also, any way to hide this? I know is a server issue, but can we disable it from showing?
We’re gonna shrink it down into a more concise error message for 502s but we’re not gonna stop displaying it
Hi! Can you make the post preview height toggle able? I preferred it the old way and now I have to click the images in order to see my memes fully…
That’s rather inconvenient annoying.
Edit: changed inconvenient to annoying as it is really annoying to have to click every image.

Thanks, I hate it. I don’t want a preview, I want the real thing. Full pictures in the feed was one of my favorite features about Liftoff and you just removed it completely. Could at least have made it a setting.
I guess I could live with previews if there was a clear indicator on whether I’m seeing a preview or the whole picture fits the maximum height - now I only realize I need to click on it because e.g. the meme doesn’t make any sense so there’s probably some caption that I’m missing.
Great work otherwise, thank you for your efforts, but this feature sucks. (Great opening animation, though.)
Great work. Can I ask again please for allowing to change the font size of comments?
My eyes are not that great anymore and the current comments are at the edge of readability for me.
Really impressed by the speed with which these updates are flying out. Great work!
