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!
While we’re on the subject of UIs, can we get an account option to disable or collapse embedded images/gifs in comments? I want that classic reddit feel of just text and links to images.
This and the previous comment are officially the hardest I’ve laughed on this platform so far.
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.
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.
Lmao 💀
How do I gild this comment?
This person price per milliliters. ⬆️
Lol, it’s just like how reddit silver used to be
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

Open link in new tab, please
Middle mouse click on the comment link. It’s not quite the same but it’s a fair substitute.
“Removed by mod” comment are still visible on old.lemmy.world.
https://lemmy.world/comment/1687844 - removed by mod
https://old.lemmy.world/comment/1687844 - “Drink bleach.”
If you could also kick this person for telling people to kill themselves, that’d be great, thanks. If every last space is going to blithely demand “civility” and prevent us from telling people where to stick it, when they deserve it - moderation needs to be orders of magnitude better, on our behalf. Otherwise it just means “be nice to toxic monsters.”
hey @mindbleach@lemmy.world, I banned him for 7 days so he can cool off. I’ll also log this bug with the developers of mlmym
Cheers on both points.

In fact it shows up from u/@ on c/@.
I just installed the latest update the dev already solved this issue.

You’re not pathetic at all. Familiar things can be comforting. Nothing wrong with that.
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!
Yeah I really hope they add that feature to the frontend. Everyone who’s been making apps lately seems to either intentionally or unintentionally be leaving out the ability to see accurate vote count. It’s rather annoying but also a bit concerning, I really wish more app developers would utilize that feature of Lemmy to see the vote count accurately.
I made an issue by the way on the GitHub.
you should open an issue about that here https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between “people who preferred old.reddit.com” and “people who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.
Wow, i hate to admit it but i really missed this, it is awesome thanks so much.
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.
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?

An NNTP binding would be a bit more directly mappable, as Lemmy’s more analogous to Usenet than email. Each community would be a newsgroup. Still, NNTP and SMTP are pretty closely related, to the point that Outlook Express supported both email and Usenet. Subscribing, reading, posting, and commenting are pretty easy concepts to map, only up and downvoting are unsupported.

I’m now officially supporting .world on Patreon because of this.
The creator appears to be @nnrx@sh.itjust.works.
Thanks!
Now do the new reddit style.
While the very latest reddit may not work that well, it does look very slick and modern. Lemmy is clunky and retro. I don’t want it to mimick reddit, but I’d like it to at least come up to modern standards.
