Do we really need a large number of themes for lemmy? (lemmy.ml)

Lemmy has a list of themes. I like most of them but some of them are weird like the notepad one(called sketch). But I think everyone either uses the dark or light theme. I am not requesting the team to remove all the themes, maybe some of them can be removed?

Instead of the current, hardcoded themes, it might be nice to allow users to upload their own themes (only for their account). That should be pretty easy to implement, and would give a lot more customization options without bothering us devs.

Maybe allow users to customize the theme within lemmy and allow them to export the settings?

You mean include a CSS editor in Lemmy? That sounds way too complicated.

Like.. DDG has a theme customiser https://duckduckgo.com/settings#appearance If its too complicated, then it alright.

PleromaFE includes that already. Not just a CSS editor but a frontend for it where the user don't need to know what is even CSS.

There's already an easy way to do that, check the theming guide: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/client_development/theming.html
