I'm terrible at CSS too. But the default theme is very much not for me -- I'd like a "compact" mode that can fit more than a few article titles on the page. Do you think the layout is flexible enough to do that with CSS?

This, please. I'd prefer an old.reddit experience with RES enabled versus this New Reddit Compact Mode experience. Shame I don't know CSS in the slightest.
Thank you for the tutorial! Sadly I don't have my own instance, so I guess my only options are contributing a theme or use extensions like Stylus
If you have CSS knowledge, maybe both Yiffit and Pawb instances could benefit from an awesome custom theme :3
Well I don't know anything about CSS, but I've taken a look at the files and it seems that making a custom theme is as easy as changing the hex values for colors, so I might give it a try.
@Wander A more quality (but more labor intensive) solution would be to have an account setting that toggles a short CSS file containing overriding CSS for the adult image blur. This way, users could choose to have or not have that blur regardless of which theme they chose (without having to have two separate copies of each main CSS theme to achieve that).
Sorry for the late reply. I finally figured out why I wasn't able to get my reply sent. Apparently if you reply from Lemmy to Mastodon you need to choose a language or otherwise it won't work.
In any case, I really want to add the toggle to the UI, but I would first need to learn a bit more about how it's set up currently. I know it uses typescript, but maybe I can simply add some vanilla JS to the exported html files in the docker container.
