Upvotes are blue on lemmy. There's an option to change it back to red if you're used to the old reddit colours

Oh, okay. I found the option. Just didn't know that was a thing.
Here's a link to the option:
Where did you find out how to link to settings like that? That's ingenious.
I just changed it, and I'm so at home again. Red for hot, blue for cold. That was always my mental model from Reddit.
I've seen it used elsewhere, then figured out you can long-press any (most?) of the settings to copy the link code, to then be pasted into a comment.
Oh wow, very clever solution.
When you say figured out, you mean just by experimentation? Happened upon it?
I saw it in a comment. "Hold to copy" seemed the most logical way to do it, and one try later that was confirmed.
Ah okay. Thanks for explaining! I think this should be advertised by the app somehow. It's pretty smart. ๐
Bless you kind internet spirit
It was jarring for me at first, but it grew on me very fast. Also, in my opinion, looks cleaner on dark mode
Yup totally agree about the dark mode looking better with blue!. I think if you're on Lemmy you should use the right color scheme as well
It makes more sense IMO, usually red is used for things like stop, wrong, error, bad etc. and while green is most common for go, correct, good etc. blue fits better as an opposite to red.
I disagree I figured red was heating up and blue was cooling down, regardless of how you interpret it though we all know why everyone is used to it being that way.
Pretty sure the colors both changed slightly too.
That's correct, they used to be reddit orangered and periwinkle.
