I've been really enjoying browsing Wikipedia and duckduckgo on Links2 lately which loads raw html rapidly with little overhead. It's also good for reading the Marxist Internet Archive. I'm looking to expand it's functionality more

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I went down this rabbit hole.
The only way I could make it work was using the alternative frontend for my instance: old.feddit.org
There, log in was possible without issues. But I don't know if lemmy.ml has alternative frontends.
I had tried all CLI browsers, browsh, and Neon Modem Overdrive. (which seemed to work for people on other instances, but not on feddit.org . Edit: The issue I was having with it seems to be fixed now.)
I'm new to the fediverse. Will old.feddit.org work witht he same login credentials?
It's a different UI for feddit.org, so it works with feddit.org accounts. The UI is mlmym. You should be able to self-host it, and use it with a Lemmy instance of your choice.
No, not with yours from lemmy.ml .
no, user data is not federated accross instances.
you can just compile and connect to mlmym locally on your machine, it's a tiny go-based program with a webserver in it
