As requested by some users: ‘old’ style now accessible via https://old.lemmy.world
Code can be found here: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym , created by Ryan (Is he here?) (Yes he appears to be! @nnrx@sh.itjust.works ! Thanks for this awesome front-end!)
Updated to v0.0.18.
There have been a few versions released the last few hours so I will just post a link to the general release notes https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/releasesThese are the changes added since the last version (v0.0.15) we were running:
- community bang link fixes #44
- show mlmym version in settings page
- removed excess community api calls
- fix community bang links
- ignore “old.” subdomain when rewriting lemmy links- my communities dropdown #39
- “mark read” button when “show read posts” is disabled #20
- fixed pagination/filtering bugs in search
- removed page jerk after loading last page of comments

This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!
How do I gild this comment?

Very spot-on. I was expecting a regular HTML-based page but this just looks identical to old.reddit. I’m very impressed.
I believe Reddit’s code was open sourced for a period of time, maybe that’s this looks identical.

I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between “people who preferred old.reddit.com” and “people who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.

Haha cool, unlike old.reddit this also looks great on mobile!
I’m now officially supporting .world on Patreon because of this.
Guess I wasn’t the only one with the idea, huh: https://old.lemmings.world
holy fuck it’s like i never left
Yes! Thank you @ruud@lemmy.world ❤️
This reminds me of that old site that made reddit look like Outlook so you can pretend to be working while on reddit. Now I’m pretending to be on reddit. The ol’ switcharoo yadda yadda
–found the site for those curious: http://pcottle.github.io/MSOutlookit/ but I think it’s kind of broken now?
now that’s how a community is supposed to be run
good webdev
pat pat
edit: @nnrx@sh.itjust.works you know, if you really wanted to knock this out of the park… why not add in some features from Reddit Enhancement Suite? I dunno if anyone will ever consider porting RES over to Lemmy, but there were a lot of nice things like drag to zoom that I’ll miss. if those features were implemented natively without needing an addon, that’d be super neat.
I feel upset with how bad I want this for every instance. I know that change can be good but I want my old creature comforts of when I was 19 and learning about the front page of the internet, chuck testa and maymays
