This is cool, have you considered contributing it to lemmy-ui as a theme? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/tree/main/src/assets/css/themes

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Worth a shot, bit of work to be done besides just the CSS

[-] joestaen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

cheers for this

i detest having content centered, so having this style + 80% magnification definitely sates my burning hatred for modern ui design

[-] ifDogsCouldTalk@lemmy.click 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks. But how can we use this?

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You use an extension like Stylish to graft the CSS onto your favorite Lemmy instance's CSS. Until they move everything around and it breaks at least.

[-] Glunkbor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

This is great, thank you! It feels more like old-reddit, as you said, and I think having this option would make it even easier for people to transition to Lemmy. Well done!

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 2 points 1 year ago

Oh that's exactly what I've been wanting! Just added it into my instance's default theme. Thanks!

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Note Lemmy has a serious lack of properly marked up HTML, things like ".post-listing .title" don't exist so there are nasty CSS selectors included here.

[-] blevok@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I added this to make the gap between posts smaller.

.my-3 {  
    margin-bottom: 0.2rem !important;
    margin-top: 0.2rem !important;
}

edit: For some reason this doesn't seem to work on some instances, not sure why.

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you're looking for the hr my CSS is actually hiding those and doing margin+padding on the posts:

#app > .mt-4 > .container-lg hr.my-3 {
   display: none;
}

although the selector may be too specific. IDK what "my-3" is but figured it might be too general.

[-] blevok@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's the hr, which somehow i can still see. I have the same css on startrek.website and while it's still not hidden there, setting the margin does work, but not on lemmy.world for some reason. I can see that both sites have the same class for the hr (my-3), so i'm kinda stumped at the moment.

I also added the following to change the width and spacing of columns, and again it works on startrek.website, but not on lemmy.world. It's really strange.

.container,.container-lg,.container-md,.container-sm,.container-xl {
    max-width:1540px
}
.col-md-4 {
    flex: 0 0 25%;
    max-width: 25%
}
.col-md-8 {
    flex: 0 0 75%;
    max-width: 75%
}

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

One of the versions I had up had ">" instead of ">". Current version should be working on startrek.website.

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Also you probably need semicolons on each line with a property assignment.

[-] blevok@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

I can't believe i left out semicolons. Sadly it changed nothing though. But it's weird, as i continued to screw with it, i refreshed after some random change, and suddenly everything worked. Then i refreshed again and it went back to not working. No changes, just another refresh. And i do see my values in the live css in the inspector. That seems to indicate that reality as i perceive it is a lie and i'm likely the subject of an experiment that's being conducted by beings living in a reality that's outside the realm of my awareness or comprehension.

[-] NabiscoShredderWheat@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly I, like most casual users, don't care about the drama. I'll go with both but mainly use whatever is more active and user friendly. I think it's silly how much stake into this the bandwagon has put into it. If you're not a developer or a mod that has put a lot of time into it it doesn't really affect the rest of us.

[-] cereal7802@lemmy.game-files.net 1 points 1 year ago

Might want to create a git repo for this (maybe other themes) and get it converted to a full fledged theme for lemmy. I tacked your changes onto the end of the darkly-red theme and seems to look nice. I was just too lazy to remove the bits from the original theme. A git repo would be good though since a lot of the responses suggest coming back for updates. Git will let people know if there is a change and they can see what they are as they change.

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm working on pushing some changes into lemmy-ui right now to make themes in general work. It might not even be far from there to getting user-contributed themes baked into the main lemmy-ui and being user selectable.

[-] GreyCat134@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I personally like how things are currently. A local front page for the instance I’m apart of and a front page of communities I subscribe to. If I want to see what’s going on in other instances I can go visit those.
