Why YSK: If you previously preferred browsing old.reddit for its compact and information dense web layout, you should know that this theme can be replicated for Lemmy using monkey scripts.

Jesus christ, that’s so much better. The insane amount of negative space in the default lemmy look was extremely annoying to me.
The negative space drives me INSANE, I don’t get why they design it like that
For posterity, I later stumbled upon the authors original post here:
- Tamper/Greasemonkey script to reformat interface to a style recalling old.reddit
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.
Oh hell yes thank you.
Hey thanks. This helps.
I think I may love you a little.
Off to figure this out, thank you!
