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. 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?

Not only does it make Lemmy look much better on desktop without turning it into a Reddit clone, it adds some subtle but very cool little features:
