maybe I’m stupid but links are blue, even when followed, it might be nice to have a clicked through colour for hyperlinks (I think it’s normally like a aubergine). If this is a “you have your cookies set to do not store” issue you can archive this np 
Looks like the regular link a color and a:visited are both set to be the same --tertiary color right now.

Well, it’s not as straightforward as just changing it to aubergine because this color might not work for each of the themes installed on the website (there are currently 8 of them). I’ll have to edit the theme to add a new css rule for :visited, add a new color to each of the color schemes, and then check to make sure that the contrast is good.
As an aside, I’m indifferent about the visited link color because the website already clearly marks which posts are read or not read. So, knowing whether or not I’ve visited the link is moot. Discord and Slack work the same way.
At the moment, I have my hands a bit busy with getting my game ready for release. I’ll see if I can take a look at it next weekend.

yeah it’s only a minor thing, so maybe if there are two hyperlinked text items side by side the other is revealed to reader so they don’t miss any important context, thank you for listening!
Well, I guess it was good I procrastinated on doing this because Discord’s new default Horizon theme has completely new color scheme variables. I finally tried giving something like this a shot:
.post__contents a:visited {
color: hsl(from var(--d-link-color) calc(h + 40) s l) !important;
}
But the problem is that even after tweaking the hue shift, there’s always a few color schemes where this color does not work. It doesn’t look different enough, it has poor contrast, or it looks like an unvisited link instead of a visited one (at least, to me).
None of the built-in color schemes have a visited link color setting, nor can I edit them either. Best I could do is entirely duplicate the color schemes and then do some ad-hoc modifications ontop, and do this every time we add a new color scheme to the site, but I feel like this would increase the maintenance work quite a bit so I don’t want to do it.
Maybe there’s a different idea that could be easy for me to do that I’m not thinking of, but I think at the moment I don’t think this approach works.

did you roll the attempt back? links aren’t getting click tinted for me still 
. it’s ok if you did it’s a super minor thing like it’s fine really the major proof of clicking a link is having the link open after all 
Yeah, I rolled the attempt back.
