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
- redirect frontpage login errors
This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!
And the award for best comment chain goes to…
Hahahahahhahaha
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.

Lmao 💀
How do I gild this comment?
Holy christ, there’s no going back now, lol. This is BEAUTIFUL.
Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?
Ask in their GitHub repo.
Actually, I see it in the options 😃
Endless Scrolling + Auto Load More
I love you

Haha cool, unlike old.reddit this also looks great on mobile!
Thank you Ryan!
I am using this now and it is marvellous. Like someone has handed back to me an old and much loved garment, but it is all fixed up and restored to as new condition
Oh my God it’s beautiful!
I know there are a couple of other *.lemmy.world domains, are they actually listed anywhere? feels like they would make sense to be added into the starting guide stickied here for newbies.
They are in the sidebar on the frontpage
Ooh! Old Reddit style. Noice!

What here mlmym stands for?
I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between “people who preferred old.reddit.com” and “people who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.
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
This is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!
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.
Honestly, this is such a damn game-changer it’s not even funny. Excellent work.
Once phone-apps spin up, I think you’ll see another massive wave of those abandoning Reddit, which has screwed so many over—including developers.
Why fix what isn’t broke? I appreciate that you’ve adopted tried-and-truth UI designs to take this site to the next level and improve upon it
