People on mastodon.social, are you seeing the multicolumn ("advanced") interface by default, even if you didn't activate it?

Have had a couple of reports now of this happening, has mastodon.social made it the default by accident?

It used to be the default years ago, but since then the simpler single column interface was made the default. Multicolumn shouldn't be appearing by default.

@feditips nope I am not, but on firefox. It appears (from other people) it's a Chrome/Edge problem

Don't know about the issue; not on Masto dot Social

Just as a thought, however, Masto dot Social seems (as current as FediDB can keep up) to be running v4.2.1+pr27634.22407c4

Probably what's called a "nightly"

So y'all get to beta-test the latest release on what (one would think) should be a rock-steady production release

@feditips it sounds like I have the opposite issue yesterday. I'm on mas.to and have used the multi column interface for over a year.

When I logged in yesterday it was back to a single column. First time that has ever happened. In the upper right corner of the screen I had to toggle 'Advanced Interface' and then everything switched back to my customized multi column mode.

@feditips Mine's displaying as normal, not multicolumn.

I used the mastodon app for iOS on my iPad. Single column default. Frequently when I’d tap on a thread to see replies, particularly if I looked at an embedded link, it would switch to 2-column when I left the thread and returned to my feed. 2-column is dreadful on iPad. I’d restart the app and it would be fine. Switched to Icecube recently and haven’t had a recurrence.

@feditips Opens up as a single column for me - I'm using Firefox. I then switch to multi columns - have only just worked out how to get Notifications into the column! 😁
