I haven’t checked since making this post but when the idea was floating around the devs said they preferred multi-communities (proposal 2). That’s still on the Lemmy roadmap but isn’t here yet.

That said, Piefed apparently implemented something similar to proposal 3 so maybe the devs can change their mind and copy them instead.

Oh hey, it’s been a while since I’ve written this. Thanks for sharing it again. When I posted it last year to the fediverse community, people were not ready for it.

It doesn’t do anything by default, you have to go to settings > zen mods > click the settings icon next to the mod name.

If you set the options and nothing happened then I’m not sure, it worked for me instantly when toggling stuff off.

I’ve started using more Zen Mods recently too, the most important one I would say is Zen Context Menu - which lets you de-clutter the options when you right click anything. There are way too many options being shown when you right clicked the sidebar, but it’s a lot nicer to use now.
