This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!
This and the previous comment are officially the hardest I’ve laughed on this platform so far.
Lmao 💀
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.
Every web frontend is source-available. You can do some obfuscation sure, but it's always possible to just grab the computed style properties when the document finished rendering.
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
Perfect. Now all I need is a ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy Enhancement Suite.
Throw in automatically embedded thumbnails so you can use Imagus on desktop, a dash of hiding posts you've voted on before and ...

I'm a Kbinaut myself since it was already the closest to old reddit.

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?
You are a legend for this.
Until now I hadn't realized how disoriented I was still feeling on Lemmy just because I was so used to the old.reddit interface. This is brilliant. Thank you so much.
"I've only had old.lemmy for an hour, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."
I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between “people who preferred old.reddit.com” and “people who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.
Most excellent.
Are we under any impression that this will have long-term support? Or just a novelty to enjoy while it's here?
That's a question for the dev of MLMYM
While I don't really care about old Reddit style, it's amazing that you guys made it an option for people used to it. Based!
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.
Wow, i hate to admit it but i really missed this, it is awesome thanks so much.
This is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!
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
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
Guess I wasn't the only one with the idea, huh: https://old.lemmings.world
Ruud >>> Spez
Whoa, this is a trip. It'd be cool to possibly get an option in our settings to automatically redirect to old.lemmy.world
I'm now officially supporting .world on Patreon because of this.
This is actually amazing. I'm starting to love Lemmy, the content and comments are feeling like my first days on reddit, but cleaner and it has that good free/open source feeling. I'm gradually visiting Lemmy more each day. Once a RES-like extension comes out, I'll be full time here.
Edit: it even has dark mode and endless scrolling. Unbelievable.
Btw, old reddit used to display the exact upvote/downvote counts ("x upvoted, y downvoted") for posts AND comments in the "title" attribute of the total number, visible as a tooltip when hovering the mouse over it. All that "x% upvoted it" for posts and removing the counts entirely for comments was nonsense pushed through by the previous reddit jerk CEO on 2014-06-18 against all community opposition (what is it with reddit and dumping unpopular changes in June?).
If you gonna recreate old reddit, please do not include these later CEO meddlings in it! One of the best features of lemmy is the display of exact counts (which was also a major advertised draw of voat.com and raddle.me before it). Let's keep that in!
I feel a calming warmth, like a nice long hug from a warm grandma. An oh so familiar smell, something I slightly remember from my youth, but new, refreshing, like a cool mist from the ocean lightly hitting your face as watch a new day rise. I am home.
I love this so much. Thank you!
Haha cool, unlike old.reddit this also looks great on mobile!
holy fuck it's like i never left
