Hey, is there a way to set Lemmy up to automatically switch between light and dark themes during the day and night? Doesn’t seem to work with “Browser Default” theme settings.
Thank you in advance.
Are you using an app, or one of the additional Lemmy frontends like Alexandrite or Photon?
I try to use the browser over apps in general. If using a frontend would allow this, I’ll give them a try.
I don’t believe the default Lemmy interface supports it, yeah. I sometimes use Alexandrite and I don’t think it does, but not 100% certain. Haven’t tried Photon or any of the other options that may be out there.
If you’re on Lemmy.world, try:
Aledandrite - https://a.lemmy.world/
Voyager - https://m.lemmy.world/
Old Reddit - https://old.lemmy.world/
Photon - https://p.lemmy.world/
Tesseract - https://t.lemmy.world/
Not sure what others may be out there, but maybe one of them has the setting you’re looking for.
Edit: Alexandrite does seem to have a “system default” option, so if your system automatically updates theme based on time of day, that may work.
Edit 2: Seeing similar on each of the others, though how well each works, I’m not certain.
Been enjoying Photon a lot but I’ve been getting a lot of 503 Service Unavailable errors.
I’ve set up Photon. Great design and functionality, including the theme issue. Thank you very much.
