Hey all! So lemmy-ui actually supports custom themes, i.e. Instance owners can drag and drop a css file into an extra_themes folder. I noticed a reddit theme did not exist (at the time of writing), so I've begun working on one. I'm gonna keep working on it, but I always like to take a step back and ponder if this is even a good idea. The reason I'm doubting myself is, I can't change the layout so I'm resorting to writing some pretty awful css. i.e.:

  • there's a couple dropdowns, that I have to convert to not-dropdowns
  • I'm using the :has css selector, which is supported in chrome but behind a flag in firefox
  • some elements that I need to style do not have class names so I have to use super long selectors, like an adblocker filter almost

Is there a better way to do this? Is anyone else working on this?

There is https://mlmym.org frontend which uses old.reddit.com layout.

That might be the way to go. The only disadvantage is, it's on another site. I am interested to know what people are using in general to access Lemmy. If people reading this thread could vote on this poll, that'd be nice: https://strawpoll.com/kjn18WkedyQ

I voted. I used Memmy the most since I mostly do social networking type stuff on my phone or iPad.

When I am on my desktop though I have been trying out different layouts. Not many desktop options so I have been going back and forth between the standard lemmy-ui and mlmym.org
