Hi, i wanna create new UI for Lemmy federations, but i have big problems with an understanding of linux system.

I made a small improved version, but in my opinion it is not convenient and beautiful enough. Nevertheless, I have already made a pull request to add this css to the list of topics.

Perhaps there are people here who will help me edit the original Lemmy-UI and install it on my VDS so that I can continue development.

The main changes that I need to make for further development are described here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/610

Of course, I tried to make a fork and edit it myself, but I just don’t understand how to implement this into the docker/ansible installation. I meet a lot of mistakes and misunderstandings of the system design on the way (I’m talking about myself ignorance in this matter).

That’s why I’m looking for outside help, maybe someone has free time to improve Lemmy for the whole community, it would also be cool if you understood any Slavic language.

    I think you don’t necessarily need to change it, for my needs I just need more css classes to add more css so it doesn’t conflict, like the way I use it with bootstrap v4 based css paths/selectors at the moment. It’s a bit hacky and improper. (Also it’s not enough with just bootstrap classes, if you wanna make diverse themes too)

      I try twice’s make request pull, but he declined or deleted, idk. my main problems:

      • “webp” restrictions for previews up to 250px;
      • location of div (title + author info) below preview;
      • lack of text preview (which is available in the mobile version)
