Update: @[email protected] has been kind enough to add Rediggit as a native theme to the lemmy.ca instance. You can now access it from your account settings page, without the need of another browser add-on.
Just posting an update on my Rediggit theme, in case anyone else prefers a reddit/digg-style interface for the desktop.
Highlights include:
- Flexible full-width layout, with fixed width for vote buttons and thumbnail columns
- Strong focus on content and discussion (improved comment legibility)
- Decreased font size throughout
- Increased post list density
- No user or community circle-icons
- No community banners or logos
- Few rounded buttons or boxes
- Re-sizable comment box
Amazing theme! Any way to also get a dark version of the full-width style?
Also, it's somewhat broken on mobile.
Thanks! It isn't really meant for mobile, since there are plenty of apps already which provide a superior UI. I do plan to do a dark version of Rediggit eventually but it's not there yet.
Lemmy's frontend templating keeps changing with every release, which is expected but also presents a challenge to keep the themes working. For example, there are currently three different versions of lemmy-ui in use across the most popular instances, each requiring slightly different tweaks. Hopefully, things will stabilize a bit in the near future.
Ah, that makes sense. I can't stand the narrow width of the default lemmy theme.
