WIP Reddit CSS theme - Lemmy.world

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 [https://github.com/epitaque/lemmy-reddit-theme]. 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 mlmym.org frontend which uses old.reddit.com layout.
mlmym

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: 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
