Hi ! I’m new here! So far I’m liking what I see! I saw on the github page there a Solarized Theme but I’m not finding it in setting, can you explain me how to get it or how it works?
I believe the instances have to implement themes, you may have to contact the team that runs your instance to request that theme.
Alternatively, you can use stylus, I made a stylus theme here: https://userstyles.world/style/10250/ancom-red-meant-to-be-used-with-darkly-red
Thanks I’ll try to contact the instance master! And if it fail, I’ll try your custom theme.
Oh, to be clear, it’s not a solarized theme, it’s custom, but, you can edit the hex values in it to get something solarized!
I’d love to have something resembling old.reddit, especially in regards to width of text on the site. While Lemmy looks good enough and is reasonably easy to navigate, I really cherish old.reddit usage of available space.
If anyone knows if something like that is possible, hit me!
This is something I agree with and would like to impress on the devs. One of the biggest things I’ve heard about the API changes is that they’re getting rid of old.reddit.
I have this whole screen and Lemmy is only using 40% of it, making it feel like I’m scrolling on my phone on portrait mode. It’s not optimizing the entire screen I’m giving it.
You can change your theme in your settings
Solarized not in my settings :(
Additional themes might be an easy way for people to contribute to the code base as they’re opt in and so pose little risk apart from maybe offending some people’s aesthetics.
I don’t see a future for reddit with the upcoming changes – at least not the part of reddit that I value. With the AMA it became clear (if it was not already) that reddit does not see a problem with this and the blackout will not change anything about this. To be honest, I think their plan might work, and they will end up with a profitable TikTok-clone a few years from now. But the community will be dead.
Some time on the 12th (tomorrow), I will delete all my accounts, uninstall all apps, remove RES, and block reddit in my hosts file (for good measure). (To be honest, it feels quite exciting to experience the demise of a platform at this pace!)
Reddit was at its best when it was a tiny fraction of its current size, so I feel confident that we can build great communities elsewhere. And the group of people that are mad at reddit is heterogeneous enough for this to actually work.
I recommend using the mobile client instead of the web, unless you are at a laptop of course.
I will use both ! But mainly desktop
