Just an FYI post for folks who are new or recently returning to Lemmy, I have updated the linked grease/tamper/violentmonkey script for Lemmvy v0.18.

These two scripts (a compact version and a large thumbnail version) substantially rearrange the default Lemmy format.

These are (finally) relatively stable for desktop/widescreen. Future versions will focus a little more on the mobile/handheld experience.

These are theme agnostic and should work with darkly and litely (and variants) themes.

    ngl, I actually am starting to prefer lemmy’s UI. Looking at lemmy with this script reminds me how bad reddit’s UI is. While Lemmy isn’t taking home any prizes for its ui, It honestly beats reddit

    So nice ! I was trying to make one to expand the page and use this 40% left-right margin on my screens, Thank you !

    Here are my personal adaptations:

    - Commented font-size for titles: I didn’t like having them as small as the text

    CSS code
    /* post title font size*/
    .h5, h5 {
        /*font-size: 1rem !important;*/
        margin-bottom: 0.1rem !important;
    }
    

    .
    - Added a class for posts without image or links to have a thumbnail without the gray background, to dissociate them from links (that are from my point of view, too similar looking to text only posts)

    - Also changed how I display images in thumbnail (I prefer to see the whole image resized down with no crop, even if hardly anything may be readable on the thumbnail)

    CSS code
    .thumbnail {
        object-fit: scale-down; /* instead of "cover" */
        background-color: #333;
    }
    
    /* Remove gray background for only-messages posts thumbnails */
    .post-media a[href^="/post/"] .thumbnail {
        background-color: unset !important;
    }
