Why is compact mode 'not supported'? (lemmy.ca)

I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it's not supported while they still support things like Pocket.

Well, arguably it is broken since the last redesign. You need non-compact tabs to fit additional tab infos in there, e.g. that a tab is playing audio or using your camera.

Eh, it seems to work on mine? I have my tabs set to a specific width, so perhaps that's helping.

Hmm, for audio playing, they do then show a speaker icon in place of the favicon, if that's what you're seeing. In the non-compact tabs, it also says "PLAYING" underneath the tab title, though. And I believe, it also shows a similar text for when the microphone or camera is in use, and they don't have icons for those...
