Monkey scripts for Lemmy UI to replicate compact layout from old.reddit (github.com)

If you previously preferred browsing old.reddit for its compact and information dense web layout, you should know that this theme can be replicated for Lemmy using monkey scripts.

these are excellent, though it is missing a little padding to the right of the thumbnail for me using old.reddit.compact.user.js. But it brings up usability for me.

I wonder if lemmy will have a theme engine eventually. Or an old-reddit theme..

It does have a theme engine. It uses bootstrap v4 theme files. Problem is, bootstrap is now on v5 and the themes generated by bootstrap.build are not compatible with v4.

So we need some good themers to show up. :) (And maybe some good UI people as well)
