Was the custom theme a feature since the beginning of Reddit (i.e. Aaron Schwartz era)?

I wouldn't know that, but the feature is in the opensource of reddit.

I would guess it was not in the first installment of reddit but came later, but I've never been reddit so don't know.

In what year was "reddit-ae" forked?

reddit-ae was forked about a year and a half ago, but the original reddit repository it's based on stopped being updated in 2015.

I think the custom themes have been around for at least 8 years, I'd guess. Probably about the time Aaron Swartz was there.

Nah spez committed in reddit, not reddit-ae. Only me and d3rr have worked on reddit-ae (ae standing for AntiExtremes.com which used to be the name of saidit)

I'm not the one to ask, I don't know about reddit.
