Why do my programs never launch in the full window? (lemmy.nz)

Hey guys

As you can see in the picture, I have the problem that my programs always open in half size windows.

Obviously I'm just trying to improve my quality of life, but is it possible to change this setting? I would prefer the programs to start in full screen.
