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!

    Not really, once Reddit closed off their API to all but the absolute highest of bidders, it broke a lot of functionality of a lot of smaller apps like this. You might still be able to find something to spruce up the CSS client side somewhere, but a lot of devs abandoned the ecosystem once Reddit, the company, made it clear in no uncertain terms that community support and 3rd party partnerships were unwelcome.

    You could download the Lemmy Frontend and rewire the API to point to the reddit API

    If you just want to modify a bunch of things client side, you could download the browser extension Stylish
