[UserScript] Lemmy_monkey - a full restyle in the spirit of old.reddit - updated for Lemmy v0.18

Just an FYI post for folks who are new or recently returning to Lemmy, I have updated the linked grease/tamper/violentmonkey script for Lemmvy v0.18.

These two scripts (a compact version and a large thumbnail version) substantially rearrange the default Lemmy format.

These are (finally) relatively stable for desktop/widescreen. Future versions will focus a little more on the mobile/handheld experience.

These are theme agnostic and should work with darkly and litely (and variants) themes.

  • So nice ! I was trying to make one to expand the page and use this 40% left-right margin on my screens, Thank you !

    Here are my personal adaptations:

    Commented font-size for titles: I didn't like having them as small as the text ::: spoiler CSS code 

     css
        
/* post title font size*/
.h5, h5 {
    /*font-size: 1rem !important;*/
    margin-bottom: 0.1rem !important;
}

    ::: .
    \ Added a class for posts without image or links to have a thumbnail without the gray background, to dissociate them from links (that are from my point of view, too similar looking to text only posts)

    Also changed how I display images in thumbnail (I prefer to see the whole image resized down with no crop, even if hardly anything may be readable on the thumbnail) ::: spoiler CSS code 

     css
        
.thumbnail {
    object-fit: scale-down; /* instead of "cover" */
    background-color: #333;
}

/* Remove gray background for only-messages posts thumbnails */
.post-media a[href^="/post/"] .thumbnail {
    background-color: unset !important;
}

    :::

    • These are nice.

      I have thought about making the h5 font-size a user customizable parameter. You are not the only one who prefers the larger font size for titles. It's easy enough to incorporate - I'll experiment and see if there is a way to do it that preserves the variable between script updates.

      I also like what you did with the text posts, particularly the scale-down parameter. My preference is preserving the visual outline of the thumbnail area for consistency.

      Maybe something like:

  • old.aliensite was a feeling... this is it! Thank you!!! I'll update you if I fiddle with it or see any problem. Looks good with my little LemmyTools script too!
