I figured something like that. It looks like the bogus notification stays in place permanently, and the notifications lists we see are not updated retroactively.

Once or twice at the other place I got a notification of a “Like” from someone, but there was no “Like” from them on my actual comment.
And once or twice I myself “Liked” a comment and shortly thereafter removed it after reconsidering, and hoped that the person wouldn’t notice 
('cause it seems a lot worse to remove a “Like” than never to have “Liked” at all…)

Sometimes I’ll like a comment and then my finger quickly touches the heart again, removing the like. It’s so sensitive. 
I’m sure that I’ve missed a few of those and accidentally removed a previous like at TOP.
eta: I liked your comment…make sure it’s there

Yes, I would like to know if this is possible, too.
We need a good food and drink topic.
We had a good one on Boing Boing bbs.

Didn’t you already start one?
I’m pretty sure I even posted to it recently

Yes!
I started this one on day one on this elsewhere.cafe site.
The answer was about combination of the two food posts into one.
Please keep sending your eats and drinks in.

I guess there’s not a font size setting here?
It shrunk a lot overnight for me here, though not on other sites. Fiddling with font size in my browser and in my phone doesn’t enlarge it.

haven’t noticed that here on my android phone using duckduck as my browser(?)
used to get that a lot over at TOP.

That’s very strange. I definitely didn’t change anything on my side. Maybe try changing the theme to see if that has any effect?
Fonts should just be fonts, and the site really shouldn’t be able to do anything other than suggest a default font size (etc.), leaving it up to the browser to interpret it and display it. That you aren’t able to resize it in your browser is odd, for sure.

There already was a food thread here.

It shrank for me here, too—just a few minutes ago, when I noticed that I had a notification for an update of Chrome, and I let it update. It seemed like the whole page size here shrank, not just the text.
But I think you don’t use Chrome, IIRC? Is it possible that you use a browser that’s Chrome-based, that may have had a recent similar update?? (Do Chrome-based things keep up with Chrome, or are they on their own once they’ve been created? I don’t know a lot about these things…)
There is the “Text Size” setting here under Preferences>Interface, I think that’s what @LockeCJ is referring to…did you try that, I wonder?
But I left my “Text Size” here set on ”Normal” and instead got a size that I like just by zooming in with the browser and making the whole page bigger.

Thanks, and @LockeCJ. I did enlarge it there, but it stays tiny. Huh.
I switch between Brave and Mozilla; the shtinkage happened on the former, not the latter. Maybe Brave is Chrome based? I’d stick with Mozilla (for other reasons too), but the comment function on there is janky.
Anyway, I’m getting more accustomed to the tininess.

Weird. (I assume you did “Save Changes” and then refreshed whatever pages you had open, of course.)
Yes, Brave is Chromium-based, but Mozilla is not. And that’s pretty much all I know about it, lol.

Me, too! I wonder if it was a Brave setting that changed when I updated the app?

That worked for me! I looked around and I must have passed by the “Interface” tab. Thanks, @zfirphdn and @LockeCJ!!

Also found the accessibility setting on Brave and was able to adjust.

Hey everybody,
Look, I’mma be clear: when implementing our initial custom themes, I done fucked up by not considering the accessibility needs of members who ain’t me. Or the needs of future me, for that matter. My eyesight is not what it used to be, and digging into multiple nested menus three webpages deep has not been an acceptable experience for me. I’ve been working with and for the benefit of folks with varying levels of physical abilities at my day job these last few years and it has taught me a lot about how designing with accessibility in mind improves the experience for everyone.
I’ve booked a week off from my day job next month, and will be working to make Discourse the forum software more accessible for every visitor, not just to the cafè, but to any Discourse board implementing our toolset.
In the meantime, I’m going to see if Sienna’s toolkit can cover the gaps in our rather inaccessible experience, and if so, enable Sienna’s toolkit this weekend as a temporary stop-gap measure.
This is why working with a variety of people pf different physical abilities and an array of experiences fucking matters: everyone’s experience improves when things are built so everybody, not just one specific person with specific visual acuity, can participate. DEIA, motherfucking technerds: if you want to talk to your friends for the next fifty years of the web, you gotta build for it or you will inevitably talk to fewer and fewer people as folks abilities lessen and eyesights worsen.
Finally, if Jeff from Discourse reads this: lol. lmao. how did this not occur to you? no friends?!!!
