I thought this would help foster discussion on how we can improve this instance to look both appealing and accessible for supporting the most users for our growing community!

Let me know what you think!

one of the best features of (old) reddit was the ease of customizing a communities css, and the way you could make each community you moderate its own and feel like a seperate, unique place to be

I hope Lemmy improves on this front soon, having to fiddle with files on the backend or make pull requests to the application proper introduces a lot of friction. (not to mention I find the default theming kinda mediocre)
