Reddit refugee here.

I have really started to like Lemmy and love the fact that it’s free and open source, but I wasn’t feeling so home with the UI, so I found nice looking style from https://userstyles.world/style/10345/lemmy-world but I personally prefer dark theme so I adjusted some colours and made the radiuses and margins bigger. I thought that maybe someone will find this useful and hence I decided to post it here. I am not a professional programmer, just a guy who likes to tinker with computers so this style may not be perfect. Critique, feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Edit: The colors are from reddit and if you want the colors to look more like the original lemmy, change the bg primary and default to hex #303030 and #222222. I really like this color scheme too

--bg-primary: #303030;
--bg-default: #222222;

Edit2: I have now made some small adjustments using the feedback and suggestion I got from you. I’m really grateful for the feedback :)

I also have now two styles, which have slightly different color scheme https://userstyles.world/user/VILPAUTOEE

Keep the feedback coming ;D Thx

    You can add a docker volume mount to app/extra_themes leading to a directory in your volumes directory and then add custom themes in there. Pull the CSS for the theme you want to base off of from lemmy-ui’s github. Then add the custom CSS from above. Then set that theme as default for your instance in settings. I did that to my instance to make lemmy wider.
