In the Timelines view, the current display for a toot's status has a left padding of the same width as an avatar (highlighted in red in the image).
This layout creates a few challenges:
There is always whitespace in the timeline view, which makes a non-optimal utilization of a device's screen real estate.
The reading experience is not as immersive as some users may prefer.
The only way to read a "full screen", edge-to-edge toot is by tapping on the toot itself, which makes the reading experience more cumbersome than it should be.
Describe the solution you'd like
Create an "edge-to-edge" view so that the timeline view can show toots in a more immersive way.
Add a toggle in the Preferences view to turn edge-to-edge view on (default is standard view).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternative 1: make edge-to-edge the default
The reading experience would be more immersive, but this alternative will create an opinionated layout. Users who don't like edge-to-edge would have no other option than to use a different Mastodon client.
Alternative 2: do nothing
This is the simplest alternative from an engineering effort perspective, but does not solve the problem.
