[help] I have been steadily getting requests to turn my old.reddit.compact userscript into a Lemmy theme - but I don't know how to do it (github.com)

Up for discussion:

The userscript I (and others) have written seems to be fairly popular among people who have found it. I've had several requests to turn it into a Lemmy theme, but I have been hesitant to do so. Partly because I lack the skill to do it, and partly because it isn’t really a “theme” as such. It doesn’t change the colors or do some of the things a theme typically does. In truth, the script is actually (essentially) theme agnostic - I use it with darkly, but it works with all of the other Lemmy themes without issue (hopefully).

I have no qualms with someone helping turn the CSS stuff into a Lemmy theme (or just taking the bull by the horns and doing it) , but with the changes coming in v.0.18 it may be better to wait.

Anyone have any thoughts? Is this script even appropriate for a Lemmy theme?

Yeah, the old.reddit.compact script already edits most of those styles. It's less about the CSS which has already been written/modified and more about getting it into Lemmy as a selectable "native" style rather than relying on Stylus or Tamper/Violentmonkey
