Thank you for your service. Would you be interested in testing my modern UI theme for Lemmy on your instance? It works with Lemmy 0.17 and 0.18.0. You can get the CSS files from the releases page.

I already made a proposal to improve the default theme, but my issue was closed without any response from the developers. The required changes were small on purpose and should be easy to implement for anyone already familiar with the code. So it seems that UI is not a priority to Lemmy developers. That’s why I had to develop my addon, which I then also turned into a theme. I hope that one day Lemmy instances will start using some kind of modern theme (doesn’t have to be mine), so that my addon is no longer needed.

My theme is just a small amount of styles applied on top of the default litely and darkly themes, which should make maintenance easier. Unlike an addon, a theme doesn’t need to support multiple versions of Lemmy at the same time, so we could simplify it even more. Lemmy 0.18 uses CSS variables now, so that also makes things easier.

Something needs to be done about Lemmy’s outdated UI and I’m not sure if the current approach of developing multiple userscripts and addons is efficient. I understand if you think this might cause too much work for you though.

I created a proposal with UI design changes. Feel free to post a comment with your feedback: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1183

More things would need to be changed to make the app more readable, but I didn’t want to propose too many changes at once. So this is just for the main page with default theme.

Thanks! I’m a front-end developer :)

That sounds interesting! I wanted to be able to use it myself in case devs weren’t interested in changing the UI. Can you tell me how it works and how to do that?
