There’s also an odd “i386” theme, along with a “pure black” darkly.

Apologies for piggybacking this post so late especially, but - shameless plug - I have a couple themes based on nord which anyone can add to their instance. I would actually appreciate any feedback on them, so please feel free to check them out (github link)

I do like the compact views. The spanning across the entire width of the screen doesn’t feel entirely right layout-wise, imo, but my home feed being able to show me more info at a glance is nice.

I really like the darkly-pureblack theme, but I wish there was also a darkly-compact-pureblack :). I also like the vaporwave themes, but I wish it would let us choose a different monospace font (or any other font for that matter).

I actually like the nostalgia font. I just need that and pureblack in compact aka widescreen.

Yeah I’d be on VaporWave if the font wasn’t awful (imho)

technically you should override the CSS to use whatever font you like.

This is an easy fix if you’re using a browser extension that enables custom CSS. I use the Stylus plugin for Firefox.

Create a new style for your instance (e.g. thelemmyclub.com) and add the following lines of code:

body {
font-family: ‘fontname’, sans-serif;
}

And replace fontname with the name of the desired font.

I’ve found that Roboto or IBM Plex Sans work particularly well.

Thank you! The default font is hideous!

There is a pure black setting now. Anyone with an AMOLED device needs to change to this now. Making the background full black turns off the LEDs in these regions greatly reducing power consumption of the device.

Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post’s text body, you must include the reason “Why” YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
