Description

This morning I setup a selfhosted mastodon server just to play with it. In the Administration section there's a box for CSS appearance changes (much like jellyfin).

It looks like the UI elements are reasonably well documented.

Research direction
Examine existing themes in the repo for structure and conventions. Use browser developer tools on a Mastodon instance to inspect UI elements and identify CSS classes. Follow the linked guide (https://battlepenguin.com/tech/using custom css with mastodon/) for applying custom CSS to Mastodon. Create a new CSS file with appropriate selectors and submit a pull request.
