Different view modes (compact and classic) #552

Closed vinoff closed 1 year ago

vinoff commented 2 years ago

Is your proposal related to a problem?

I hate the look of lemmy. It might be because I am used to lobste.rs, news.ycombinator or old.reddit.com. Lemmy's UI just seems to be screaming at me. Everything is too big!

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love if lemmy had a more "compact" mode. It would be great to have 2 additional view modes actually. If you go to reddit, you have a "classic" and a "compact". Something like that would be fantastic for lemmy.

I probably won't have time to work on this with everything else I have to do, but feel free to create some mockups and I can help you get a dev environment set up.

Couldnt this be implemented as a theme?

dessalines commented 2 years ago

Maybe some things could, things like font size and spacings, but the main things that are making the page bigger, are things like image previews, icon sizes, etc.

vinoff commented 2 years ago

https://tildes.net/ could serve as a model for a compact mode. Something more towards discussion and not so much for memes/images.

PRs for adding this welcome.

I made a quick userstyle for compact mode, in case anyone wants some inspiration for how it could look like, or just something temporary until a real solution is implemented. I'm using the Stylus plugin for Firefox, but I think there are other options too. One would have to replace lemmy.world with the domain of the instance they're using.
