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

    Lemmy looks too much like New Reddit for me. Lots of wasted space and mobile-centric UI.

      I am surprised that they went with such a modern-looking UI, as opposed to something older like Reddit’s compact/old interface. Sure, Lemmy was not meant to be a Reddit replacement, exactly, but Old/Compact Reddit did have a nice, performance-friendly UI, even if it was a bit visually dated.

      Yep, I really miss the “old reddit” style. More information dense, I can see 10+ post on frontpage before I need to scroll.

      Lemmy (and new reddit) only show 5-6 post on full screen laptop.
