New simplified instructions and new enhancements (such as multi-column comments)

Multi-column Stream and Comments in Diaspora

https://userstyles.org/styles/168773/3-column-diaspora

Multi-column stream and comments boost browsing speed and look better on wide screens.
This plugin/style gives you a multi-column stream, albeit the tiling is a bit crude.

The enhancements are:

TALLER NOTIFICATIONS DROPDOWN (Doc Edward Morbius)
EXPAND ALL POSTS (Gible Fog)
TRIPLE COLUMN STREAM (Filip H.F. "FiXato" Slagter)
DOUBLE COLUMN COMMENTS (Isaac Ji Kuo)

To install:

1) Install Stylus plugin for Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.

see download links here: https://add0n.com/stylus.html

2) Install the "3 Column Diaspora" style from here:

https://userstyles.org/styles/168773/3-column-diaspora

3) Optional: If you want to delete some enhancements or tweak columns/widths, edit the style (under S icon, select "Manage")

If you aren't using the pluspora.com pod, you'll have to add your pod's domain to the domain list

Enjoy!

.expander{ display:none; }
.stream-element .collapsible,
.stream-element .collapsible.collapsed {
max-height: 1000px;
overflow-y: auto!important;
height: unset!important;
}


#main-stream .stream-element {
float: left;
width: calc(33% - 20px);
margin-right: 20px;
}
body>.container-fluid>.row>.col-md-3 { width: 15%; }
body>.container-fluid>.row>.col-md-9 { width: 85%; }
.container-fluid { max-width: none; }


#single-post-content.col-md-6.single-post-content {
width: 40%; }
#single-post-interactions.col-md-6.single-post-interactions {
width: 60%;
column-count: 2;
column-width: calc(50% - 5px);
column-gap: 5px;
}
.comment.media { break-inside: avoid; }

  1. Prashant Diaspora* is one of the places people are moving to once G+ has closed. Isaac Kuo is describing here how to give it some functionality to mirror G+ (though interestingly, a feature I turned off because I found multi-columns hard to follow. The nice thing about G+ and what Isaac Kuo is giving us is the flexibility to have things the way you want)

  3. eric peacock I think a true native app will be developed soon after the client API is completed (it's mostly complete now).

  5. eric peacock : You don't need an app for Diaspora. If you open it in your browser, it looks and behaves like an app.

  6. Don Krypton "native mobile app" and "push notifications"
    That's different than mobile web view.
