Can i make a page with backup formatting, for browsers that don't support modern HTML or CSS? (lemmy.world)

My site is currently pretty simple, but it still uses enough CSS that some parts of it look really bad in a browser like Links2 that doesn't support CSS. Most of what i'm doing with CSS can be done with plain HTML, it just doesn't look as good.

Is there a way to make a page try to load normally with CSS and whatnot, and then only load a simpler version with everything done in tables if the normal version can't load? Is my best option here to make normal and simple versions of every page?

If you want to have a tables version (the 90s called!) in one page (without serving different versions), then you'd probably have to have that in the page the whole time then override that with CSS, or just have two versions in the page and use CSS to show the correct version (I'm not sure if Links2 supports any CSS like display: none).
