To see it in action:

Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)

Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch

Example of search for 'movies'

collapsed inline media

Is there a theme or css for piefed that makes it look more like old reddit? I love the old reddit frontend for lemmy but sadly it seems to abandoned.

Not really but there one retro theme that i love : irix1998

Not that I know of, and while I hate to shill for Lemmy rather than PieFed, there is just such an interface on the instance you are already on: https://old.lemmy.zip/ . That does sound like a great idea for someone to make though...

Yes I am aware, that's what I am using right now. But that'S lemmy and I was wondering if I can "transform" piefed in a way that comes closer to that.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think so, here is the list of them (accessible for someone without a PieFed account, although for someone with an account it is under Settings -> Theme, change the dropdown then click Save settings, currently no way that I know of to test one out before saving): https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/templates/themes

Cheers, yes I already tried all the themes they mostly change the colors and fonts tho. A little padding at best. Maybe someone created a custom CSS for it, which you can apply right under the themes section. But I haven't found anything yet.

Ooh (and tagging @mnmalst@lemmy.zip), this post seems very relevant in that community: Lemmy/old Reddit styles.

[–] mnmalst@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ah! That's a start. Much appreciated!

[–] mnmalst@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago
