I tried to read https://joinmastodon.org just now, and got held up by the columnar layout. Best to avoid columns. (Also, side-scrolling is the worst!)

Not sure where to direct this, maybe @Gargron ?

Do you have JavaScript disabled? Because it doesn't normally look like that.

Yes, I'm using Privacy Browser from F-Droid, which has Javascript off by default.

It should be possible to get an adaptive layout using just CSS, without the Javascript dependency. Generally that means the layout won't be the same on all devices, and the content is legible for everyone.

(Sorry, I don't mean to be #Techsplaining; I'm somewhat averse to Javascript...)
