don’t know if this is the correct community to post this on, but is there a way to style Reddit (most likely old Reddit but it doesn’t matter) with a similar style to Lemmy? there are a few small subreddits I still browse (because there is no Lemmy equivalent) and it would be cool if I could style it like the regular Lemmy style (if you need an example: lemmy.ml)

I know there are frontends for viewing Lemmy instances like Reddit, but I haven’t heard of any way to do the reverse.

it could be through a stylesheet, an alternative frontend, even just a pointer on how you could style a website into a different style.
thanks!

    The regular Lemmy style is already basically the same as old reddit. That’s one of the reasons I moved to Lemmy; it kept a similar format to the old reddit style that I originally came to Reddit for over a decade ago when Digg decided they wanted to suck. The biggest difference is that it’s white and the thumbs are on the left and not the right. But you can use RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) to customize it. Or at least… I’m pretty sure RES should still work 🤔 It’s just a CSS editor thing specific to Reddit; I don’t think it used any of their API.

      yeah, that was the main reason I wanted to apply it to old Reddit specifically, because it would have been easier with simpler theming and old Reddit is close to Lemmy’s style too

      I installed RES beforehand, but haven’t used any of its features. I’ll try this out first and maybe Stylish if that doesn’t work. thanks!
