My background is in graphic design/marketing and I’ve mostly worked in the non-profit sector. A few years ago I canceled my Spotify subscription after they hiked up the prices and decided I wanted a way to stream my own music collection from anywhere. I found Navidrone, began learning docker, fell down the Jellyfin/arr rabbit hole, and eventually stumbled upon Cosmos Server as a simpler way to expose my containers safely. It’s been a fun project and a welcoming community so far.

This is wonderful, thanks for sharing your project! It’s nice to see hobbyists building projects too 😄

Like you I try to support artists by purchasing physical media or releases on Bandcamp. Outside of that I get my music on Soulseek, through torrents, Usenet, and occasionally XDCC. I don’t need lossless files and even if I download FLACs I transcode them to 320kbps MP3 before they go on my iPod anyway. The harder it becomes to acquire music legally the less bad I feel about downloading with abandon.

Awesome! If you do I’d love to hear how it goes. I’m sure I’m not the only person trying this but I haven’t found much online from other users yet.

Streaming my own music was the reason I got into self-hosting in the first place and I’ve been satisfied with Navidrome for over a year now. My preference is to stream via an app on my phone but I’ve made accounts for a couple friends and they stream happily on multiple devices using the browser interface.

boredreading.com is a blog feed with hashtag/topic subscriptions but it sounds like that’s not really what you’re looking for?

Never noticed those bordered corners either, good job spotting them! I just pushed a fix to the stylesheet. I’m not on Github so I’m not sure this theme will be showing up on the official site. If anything I would at least wait until the native Lemmy theme was ready to share.

There is no compact version at the moment. Is the sidebar much smaller in comparison to a native theme in your browser?

Yeah it sucks that there are no free user style extensions for Safari, sorry ☹️

I just pushed an update with different font selections, I may try to add size selection in a future update as well. For now see if any of the other fonts are easier for you to read!

Not a pain! Quite the opposite. I pushed an update this afternoon that should have fixed the bug, let me know if that helps and/or if you find any other issues. Much appreciated 😄

Yes, apparently! https://github.com/n3oney/catppuccin-lemmy

I see what you mean, that’s certainly confusing. I’ll work on a fix today!

Thanks! Could you share a screenshot of the upvote arrows? They look distinctive in my browser but that’s why I wanted others to test the theme. I’m sure there are elements that I missed.
