We theme a lot. Because. Why not. It's aesthetic.

how to use custom themes on lemmy.ml? (lemmy.ml)

I see the theme list under settings, but I don't see how to use one besides the built-in ones. Is it possible? (Or can one only use custom themes on their own instance?)

if you're a normal user first you have to apply the theme that it's based on, and then use Stylus to apply the theme on the webpage. be sure to use the {theme-name}.diff.css if you're using this method.

It would be cool to have some simple customization built-in like Duckduckgo.

It definitely would.

While it's nowhere as modular as "any user can apply their own themes", we do support custom themes instance wide: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/blob/main/src/en/administration/theming.md

You can submit pull requests with your themes for the webclient to its repository here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/
