Don’t think Beehaw has updated to Lemmy 0.18 yet.

I personally like Bees.

It’s dwarf fortress!

Logistic bots are a game changer. For real.

Think it would need to be strictly moderated to make sure something like that doesn't happen. But I second this idea!

I've been meaning to upgrade but GPUs are stupid expensive where I live if you want something decent.

Some mobile browsers might be able to use these themes, I've tried to make them as mobile friendly as possible! I think Firefox allows for installing extensions on mobile.

Okay that makes sense, will try to create a few more subtle themes, thank you!

I'd also quite like this.

I tried it for a time but had a few annoyances here and there. The need to reboot everytime I wanted to install something got to me a bit. Eventually went back to normal Fedora, though this was on my work laptop, for a home device I wholeheartedly agree.

Honestly, that was my biggest reason for starting this up. It just kind of snowballed from there.

Honestly, I have no idea; can't say that's happened to me, but it might be best to post about it in /c/support so the admins see the issue and can potentially look at a fix (if it's not already been reported to the Lemmy devs).

In that case shouldn't it more be a LemmyDevs community? Since building new features and improvements for Beehaw would be building them for Lemmy since that's what Beehaw is running.

Something like /c/sysadmin? But I agree, good idea.

I love these videos from Josh

Right you are, apologies, construction bots are a game changer. Logistic bots can be convenient though.

I’m not sure that can be done purely in CSS, but I’ll have a look.

Alright, I've added some 'quieter' options that look a lot less colorful for those that want something a bit more subtle, both for the light and dark themes. Thank you for the feedback!

If we could end up with a theme that looks a lot more like https://kbin.social, I'd be so happy. My biggest gripe with Lemmy is all of the white space, and none of the current themes improve that at all. All of the theme options offered by kbin look amazing by comparison, and to my understanding Lemmy theming is done via CSS based on Bootstrap v4, so new theme creation should be straightforward enough.

It's to the point where, when visiting Lemmy instances, I use a custom CSS extension to modify a few properties to make it a bit more palatable to me.

If you guys ever need help creating custom themes to offer to users I'd be happy to contribute.

Hey so I setup a repo; swap to the default green litely theme, and then test a few of these out, I think they turned out quite well!

Please feel free to submit pull requests if you have other colors or ideas you think would look nice. The more the merrier!

Honestly I thought we had a self hosted community, but realized that was federated from another instance. I second self hosted! Was one of my favorite subreddits.

Hey check the repo again, made some proper dark versions!

So one thing that might be worth looking into is virtual machines.

Currently on my desktop I run a variant of Arch (Endeavor I think) where I primarily do my gaming , but for any highly incompatible games, or Game Pass games, I have a virtual machine running Windows that uses pass-through to pass my graphics card through to the virtual machine for games I can't play on Linux. I also use CPU pinning to 'pin' 10 of my 12 CPU cores to the virtual machine to reduce potential overhead.

Works really well, might be an option for you, although it's not super easy to setup. I've tried passthrough on PopOS as well before, but it wasn't as performant, and Arch Wiki provides a ridiculous amount of super useful guides for doing just about anything, including setting this up.

Edit: Otherwise in terms of daily driver, I love Fedora, and likely won't move away anytime soon on my laptop.

Hey so I made a Dracula theme! Let me know if you think I've missed anything or it needs any changes.

I’m sure that could be arranged! Will take a crack at it once I’ve got a bit of time

I quite like systemd and netplan. Though the latter I can live without.

Hey there, sure, currently I'm using this. The border between comments on a comment thread doesn't look the best, but it makes it easier for me to track comment levels so I like it, though there are certain properties I'd like to change but can't.

Either way, I'm using an extension called Amino to apply my CSS changes on a domain-level.

This fixes a lot of the whitespace and borders to make differentiating between posts and comments a little easier, while minimizing white space. I think it looks nice.

EDIT: I've made a few more changes in terms of color.

I think I’ll need to do some more testing, would you mind sending a screenshot illustrating what you mean? Then I can give it a go.

Just wish it had native exchange activesync support, since we’re forced to use exchange accounts at work, and Microsoft no longer allows using M365 accounts directly via IMAP (you need to register applications in Azure that can instead use IMAP)

Stuck using BlueMail instead since it’s the only desktop client that mostly supports EAS. Aside from MailSpring but it had no calendar support despite being promised for years.

Can’t use Outlook since I’m on Linux and running a VM for it is a bit heavy. And I can’t stand outlook web.

Unfortunately you can't; it would need to be implemented by the owner of the instance to make it selectable there, but these themes have been built to work with the default litely theme on any Lemmy instance, all you need is a browser plugin/extension that can inject custom CSS in order to use these themes.

Hey so just a heads up, I made a few more changes that I quite like (again, for the red theme, tweak appropriately for the default green theme), so thought I'd just update you.

This changes the main feed quite a bit, adding a bit more of a card-like design to posts, though I have done my best to make sure there isn't too much white-space from this change, I just feel it looks a bit more modern, but again, feel free not to use it :)

It also, and this is my favorite change, changes the title color of any post you've visited, something that I feel is basic but for some reason Lemmy didn't have before. So now any posts you've visited before will be a light-gray color instead. Hope you find some value here.
