i need to upgrade to 2.3 but the new front page is so ugly...

... @InspectorCaracal ?

@squirrel I haven't upgraded >.> but I can pull up how to keep the old style once I actually successfully acquire food and get on a computer

@squirrel okay so, I T H I N K, if you copy your existing styles/mastodon/about.scss file to a new name, like old-about.scss, and then @import it after the import application line in your custom theme, it should preserve the old front page and about/more page styles, but I have not specifically tested it.

Alternatively, you can copy application.scss to like, computer-fairies.scss and change the import mastodon/about line to point to your copy of the about file and then (more)

@squirrel (cont.) import computer-fairies.scss *instead* of application, just to ensure there isn't any cross-contamination of changed elements...

Ah, heck, wait, they probably changed the javascript files too, not just the styling, so things might actually be named differently.

Maybe I should just track down the new front page merge and then you can add a revert-commit to your instance git log, hold on.

@squirrel okay new, better plan, which I'm going to post on discord because code block styling

@InspectorCaracal is it a scss change only? no html? (i don't even know where that is stored)

@squirrel yeah I realized I'm a moron and it's probably a combination of scss, javascript and haml changes and the easiest way is to just revert the commits so I gave you the lines to do that

@squirrel there's always the option to fork Mastodon, link computerfairi.es to the ***new fork*** (due to AGPL license) and revert the landing page changes

@zyabin101 yes i am aware of the what

but i don't know the how

we already have a fork
