I have really started to like Lemmy and love the fact that it's free and open source, but I wasn't feeling so home with the UI, so I found nice looking style from https://userstyles.world/style/10345/lemmy-world but I personally prefer dark theme so I adjusted some colours and made the radiuses and margins bigger. I thought that maybe someone will find this useful and hence I decided to post it here. I am not a professional programmer, just a guy who likes to tinker with computers so this style may not be perfect. Critique, feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Edit: The colors are from reddit and if you want the colors to look more like the original lemmy, change the bg primary and default to hex #303030 and #222222. I really like this color scheme too

--bg-primary: #303030;
--bg-default: #222222;

Edit2: I have now made some small adjustments using the feedback and suggestion I got from you. I'm really grateful for the feedback :)

I also have now two styles, which have slightly different color scheme https://userstyles.world/user/VILPAUTOEE

Keep the feedback coming ;D Thx

And what is it with the narrow aspects? I totally get the need for mobile support, but the default desktop view looks like it's trying to play nice with old 4:3 aspects. If that's the root design goal, I sure hope we can let that design goal die. In a 16:9 maximized window there is so much wasted real estate it pains me.

Lemmy doesn't run very well on mobile either. It crashes and burns on my iPad (probably because it doesn't fully support whatever fancy JavaScript it relies on), and Kbin is the only way to connect with Lemmy communities, since their site does work.

That's weird. For me it is kbin that crashes all the time. Lemmy works fine. I like kbin's vibe and concept, I just figured it was still really buggy. Now I'm thinking maybe the problem is on my end.

I think that’s the websocket connection that they are working on removing in the next version. Should make the loading issues on mobile go away.

I know - the default layout seems ludicrously cramped on a widescreen monitor. I wonder why the devs ever decided on the default CSS values.

After some tweaking, I'm quite happy with my setup now.
