Curious if anyone is working on the codebase for Lemmy. I’m sure we all see a few places where it could use some love.

The main repos are:

  • https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
  • https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui

Personally, I’ve been working on a few small things for docs.

PS: Here’s a pretty easy ticket to jump on if you want to get started :) https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1214

There is also a dev chat in their Matrix space: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org

    That sounds interesting! I wanted to be able to use it myself in case devs weren’t interested in changing the UI. Can you tell me how it works and how to do that?

      You add a browser extension that lets you write code that runs on any page you want. This video should be a decent explainer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DmQ_V9ZRlk

        Instructions unclear, I wrote a Firefox addon instead :D https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/lemmy-modern-ui-theme

        But you should be able to take the script and easily turn it into a userscript: https://github.com/pkrasicki/lemmy-modern-ui-theme-addon

        It works with both light and dark theme, but sometimes the detection fails for me and applies wrong styles. I hope those hacks will last for some time though so that we could have a modern UI. I would change more stuff, but some things are not possible.

            Thanks :). Do you know where to find those older themes? It would be interesting to see how they were implemented.
