Is there a theme or css for piefed that makes it look more like old reddit? I love the old reddit frontend for lemmy but sadly it seems to abandoned.
Where I'm at so far with a theme. Gotta finish up the top bar with community subscriptions and tidy up the user part on the left before moving onto the feed.
Oh nice, that looks like a great start. Is that just custom CSS you can use in the piefed settings or a full blown them the piefed admin has to install?
As in old.reddit or the old “new” reddit they apparently changed a week ago.
I’ve been messing around with customising themes all week on https://quokka.au/, and I would be happy to give it a shot.
I mean like the original reddit layout. So it looks similar like this lemmy front end: https://old.lemmy.zip/
Not that I know of, and while I hate to shill for Lemmy rather than PieFed, there is just such an interface on the instance you are already on: https://old.lemmy.zip/ . That does sound like a great idea for someone to make though...
Yes I am aware, that's what I am using right now. But that'S lemmy and I was wondering if I can "transform" piefed in a way that comes closer to that.
I don't think so, here is the list of them (accessible for someone without a PieFed account, although for someone with an account it is under Settings -> Theme, change the dropdown then click Save settings, currently no way that I know of to test one out before saving): https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/templates/themes
Cheers, yes I already tried all the themes they mostly change the colors and fonts tho. A little padding at best. Maybe someone created a custom CSS for it, which you can apply right under the themes section. But I haven't found anything yet.
You can have a look at !piefed_css@piefed.social
Ooh (and tagging @mnmalst@lemmy.zip), this post seems very relevant in that community: Lemmy/old Reddit styles.
Ah! That's a start. Much appreciated!
oh great, thanks
Not really but there one retro theme that i love : irix1998
