Very cool new features for customizability. However, from a UI/UX perspective, I question some of the changes automatically made to the layout. hiding likes, comments, restacks, share, and bookmark until you’re hovering over a specific article seems rather clunky compared to what it was previously. Additionally, would be nice to be able to keep thumbnails on the right side as they were previously.

Hey Devin, we are keeping a close eye on the UI/UX changes and will be testing over the next few days.

Hi Katie, I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem this feature has changed over the past few weeks. I know as a reader I tend to look at those likes/comments/restacks numbers when visiting a new Substack, but as a writer, I haven't found a way to change the feature back to automatically visible without hovering on my page. Any update on when we can expect this option? Thanks for all your hard work! We love Substack!
