Jesus christ, that’s so much better. The insane amount of negative space in the default lemmy look was extremely annoying to me.
For posterity, I later stumbled upon the authors original post here:

The community that this was posted from also looks interesting:

Bless! I really like this layout, it’s great. Thanks for sharing.
I like it so much that I could consider including it as the default for the lemmy instance I am building.
Looks like the script author is asking for advise on how to provide it as a theme. Perhaps you might be able to help them with just that:
Huh interesting. I’m pretty new to this but I’ll have a look.
Could you please add a “Why YSK:”? It’s rule #2. It’s also helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. Thank you. :)
