Is it somehow possible to auto-switch between the light and dark theme of our discourse depending on my macOS light/dark mode? That would be awesome… Manual switching takes way too many clicks (7-8).
Alternatively, it would be great to have a quick toggle button somewhere. For example next to the search/profile icons in the top right corner.

So apparently there is a way to get exactly what I’m looking for. Would be great if we could enable this here.
Update: Ok, apparently this is the default now. But I don’t find it in my settings. Would be great if an admin here could investigate this.
I went to https://try.discourse.org and if I toggle my (macOS) system light/dark mode the website changes appropriately. In contrast, nothing happens for our discourse here.

With an account, of course, you can always choose your own theme (which should override this default).
Thanks, that did it. I can now enable automatic toggling in the interface preferences:
