This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!

Holy christ, there's no going back now, lol. This is BEAUTIFUL.

Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?

Perfect. Now all I need is a Reddit Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

Yes! Thank you @ruud@lemmy.world ❤️

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'm getting "site unreachable" on old.

"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.

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

Whoa, this is a trip. It'd be cool to possibly get an option in our settings to automatically redirect to old.lemmy.world

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.

Ruud >>> Spez

Haha cool, unlike old.reddit this also looks great on mobile!

I love this so much. Thank you!

This is incredible!

I'm now officially supporting .world on Patreon because of this.

holy fuck it's like i never left

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.

Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

will reddit enhancement suite work on this? this is fantastic!!! good job lemmy team

I'm home. I'm finally home. Well, time to put on some PJ's and stay a while.

The creator appears to be @nnrx@sh.itjust.works.

That's awesome. Hope we can get RES for this.

This is absolutely amazing. Thank you and the devs of this so much. Feels like home.

This is so wonderful. Both easy and familiar to use and inspires much nostalgia of course. This is how I will Lemmy from desktop from now on.

Woww. Just wow. I’m not on World but this is great.

Complete and utter game changer

Wow, just beautiful and right on time. Was advertising the lemmy community today to friends who got stuck with reddit, and this is just the ringer i was looking for.

Hope Ryan is here: Thanks mate!! And to Ruud and the other admins: you r doing a great job here. And it is fun to return here every single time, because of the work you invest into this instance!

I actually prefer the style of Lemmy, but wow this is great.

that's hilarious, but could i use RES extension?

look at me. I am the reddit now.

This is beautiful

Holy shit this is awesome! Although I steadily got used to the lemmy UI this definitely feels like home :)

Amazing!

Haha this is amazing :D

This looks exactly like Old Reddit, holy shit.

For April Fool's Day can you guys switch out lemmy-ui for lemmyBB?

Account created and verified simply for the pleasure of clicking on this post's upvote button.

Problem, though - the upvote count isn't fuzzed haha.

If we could get something to organize/manage our lemmy communities (sublemmies?) at the top like subreddits that would be fantastic. Given the great work your team is doing it's probably already in the works. Thanks to you I've just about completed excising Reddit from my life, just need lemmy topics to start popping up in search engines and to pull in some more diaspora to flesh out the communities.

I hope both Reddit and Twitter go the way of Myspace, we humans deserve better than to be treated like digital chattel being milked for money and data.

Dude, this is amazing! Thank you.

This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much!

I might be missing it, but is there a side-bar to view my subscribed communities? I think on old.reddit, there was a pop-out bar on the left side of the window (but that may have been from RES).

Anyone able to log in or this is just a prototype?

Okay, this is going to significantly increase my Lemmy usage. Thank you so much to the dev(s)! Between having an "old.lemmy.world" now and Memmy (which does a great job of replicating Apollo) I'm able to almost perfectly duplicate how I liked to browse reddit. Now I'm just hoping someone develops a RES (LES) extension someday!

Thank you Ruud!

Does logging in work for you all? I'm on my phone with desktop mode on and it redirects to a blank page after logging in

I would love dark mode on this. Ideally all RES features as well but that would be a ton of work, I'm happy with just this

After using old.reddit for ~15 years (of course back then it was called just reddit) I have to say I don't miss it one bit. It had so many issues, but was still infinitely better than the abomination they came up with to replace it so I stuck with it. While far from perfect, I much prefer Lemmy's UI.

With that said, having the option is great. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people with the transition.

It is beautiful! Now all we need is RES and dark mode :)

This is so awesome.

Bruh this is literally reddit. Very nice design.

Damn that is amazing. I wonder if we will also see some kind of RES equivalent for Lemmy

Now I just need LES and I'll be very happy.

My god. Its full of stars.

Anyway to get res working with it?

I. Fucking. Love. It.

Thank you.

Too weird for me. I like it here now. That gave me the willies.

Idk why people like the old reddit UI and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Actually, I'll ask it anyway. Can somebody please give me a comprehensive explanation?
Is it just nostalgia? I would understand, I play retro games with CRT filter on.

Yeah this proves that old reddit wasn't peak design, the direction they were taking it in was just a bad one. Probably because it tried to discourage spending time in the comments sections, which IMO was the whole point of the site.

I wonder if they would be profitable if they had just included some non-intrusive text ads every 20 or 30 comments or so. Or add in code to detect when people are talking about a product and adding in an Amazon link to that product or something like that. The whole "ads must look like posts" thing was unnecessarily rigid, in hindsight.

BTW I have a userscript for Keyboard navigation that works on Lemmy https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation

If anyone wishes to help make this compatible for old.lemmy feel free to drop a PR! I'm kinda busy these days.

I think the only thing that's really missing for me and not just from old.lemmy.world but from the normal Lemmy UI. The ability to have clicking on links open in a new tab. I don't know why but I just really like having stuff open in a new tab so I can then come back to exactly where I left off.

Regardless this looks crazy good.

I wonder if RES would work on this?

I feel like a shill I've been pumping this so hard, as others have said, it feels like home.

Thank you for bringing it to more peoples attention so that we can make all of this stick around and take hold

Good job. All you need is away to see and go to your subscribed communities. Like you can on Reddit.

EDIT Looking for new communities on that style of Lemmy is hard. Because here's no easy to find a list of them like normal Lemmy.

clicks link

blinks

MOTHER OF GOD.....

I can't decide is this is good for me or bad for me, but thank you!

#$#$%^@#%#$ amazing!

Amazing! Just one quibble, Upvoting/downvoting doesn't appear to work for me.

Edit: nevermind, works fine after clearing cookies and cache.

Anyways I'm so glad this was made, I only ever browsed desktop reddit using old.reddit.com and now I feel at home with this UI. :)

You actually did it! Amazing! Thank you so much!

Oh. My. God.

This is awesome, thank you!

Fantastic lol I am lucky to be on this ride

This is amazing, thank you! I really appreciate the effort that the lemmy admins are making to cater to various users.

Well, this is a game changer. Thank you!

I'm seriously impressed by how good this looks

This made my day!

Its so beautiful! I really like it!

Very cool

Hell yeah! Thanks!

This is amazing! It is part being familiar with old.reddit and having much more information on screen compared to the normal lemmy interface that makes this so great.

Because let's beat that dead horse again: not everyone reads webpages on their phone: I have a 32" 4k screen and I handle more that 8 lines of text at once on a page.

the new design has issues on my browser with voting etc, but the old design works..? okay i mean.. atleast i now have a option to use lemmy on my main browser.. after the lemmy devs didn't wanted to fix the issue on GitHub i reported and just told me to update instead my browser.

LES when? Just kidding (...or am I?), awesome work as always! I've seen a similar this project floating around late last month two weeks ago I think but having it linked to old.lemmy.world is much better.

Edit: It was actually the same project just with a different link connected to it! It was also 2 weeks ago not late last month

Ah man, thank you. This is a comfortable pair of shoes.

Should it still be called old? It’s not like we ever had that here to start with. I recommend calling it something else.

this is awesome - thanks.

Lol amazing

This is hilarious, nice work : D

lmao now we need Lemmy Enhancement Suite

Do we have a favicon yet? Or is it only me who can't see it?

This is brilliant! Thank you very much!

I'm getting an SSL handshake error whenever I try to reach it

This gave me back the one feature I really really wanted.. Endless scroll. This is PERFECT. Thank you so freaking much, seriously. I wish everyone who is skeptical about moving over could see this.

Thanks so much OP

I love this, but I don't seem to be able to post comments with this view. The page refreshes but the comment doesn't appear, chrome shows the POST request returned a 301.

This is amazing!!! thanks a lot

Thank you for this!

this is epic

It's beautiful!

Feels really nice and neat✅

Loving it, keeping it.

Omg, I’m in heaven!

This is awesome. Thanks

I love this so much. Thank you!

LMAO this is great!

This is brilliant in ways that both defy, and renew, comprehension.

I could kiss you. Thank you

Hoping for a Naut theme for us newer old.reddit users that can't tolerate the 2008 old.reddit, haha.

Looks and feels good, but I couldn't get it to upload a picture. Not sure if it's on my end or what, but when I go to post, it gives an error about the file location (points locally because it didn't actually upload).

Okay, now this is cool. The old style throws a bunch of stuff at you all at once, and I'm totally going to use it if I need to power browse. And the regular UI is always great if you're kicking back and relaxing.

Both of these are going to have uses, and I gave them each their own bookmark, one right next to the other. Thank you again to the devs and admins, for making Lemmy and Lemmy.World awesome places to be.

Now I'm waiting for new.lemmy.world!
I think it would be actually cool to have a UI like that which has images and links directly expanded (like e.g. Voyager has, but for desktop) and is just more modern and spacey. Not sure if any like that exists yet though.

Besides that, thank you of course! I won't use it, but I appreciate an admin caring about and listening to the community. That's quite refreshing :)

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/releases

These 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

Ruud is the MVP of the Fediverse 🥳

Brilliant! Now all that's missing is the "hide" button.

Open link in new tab, please

Can we also get a new.lemmy.world? Having New Reddit's mobile UI would make using lemmy easier on mobile

Holyyyyyy shit

10/10

Thank you so much.

fantastic, thank you!!

I feel dirty just clicking that link.

Cool! Thanks @ruud@lemmy.world! :)

This is GLORIOUS!!!!

I just can't see the upvote/downvote counts when I hover over the score like I can with the normal Lemmy style, other than that it looks pretty good!

Edit: Oh and all those buttons under the posts and comments would be cool too. (Like context, crosspost, etc.)

Oh man, this is just beautiful.

It's like, what fukddit should've been all along.

I love it. I made an account just to say this, I've been lurking on lemmy for a couple weeks. Thank you very much Ryan and ruud.

Wow.. I'm actually more comfortable with this interface now..

Bro that’s so weird I’m not sure if I like it

This is so much better, congrats Ryan

Is this just another front end for lemmy.world or another instance all together?

This is awesome!

Damn!

Weve had it on lemmy.zip for a frew days now. Its pretty nice!

Oh man, I was using mlmym for awhile.

Amazing that it's now being used here by default. Adding wefwef for mobile app as well.... Really liking these moves from Lemmy.world.

Is it possible to have the lemmy instance share the login cookie across subdomains m.lemmy.world and old.lemmy.world? It's kind a pain to have to sign into each subdomain.

This is wild!!! Still glad this is my main instance.

Lol. Digg users did this for like 6 months or so when they moved from Digg to Reddit, before eventually assimilating. It was done as a browser extension though.

This is excellent.

Hahaha bro this is awesome, thanks!

Up next: (old.-) Lemmy Enhancement Suite?

Would be nice with a "new" that is similar to how reddit looks today. By that i mean the big cards and what not.

I love this so much...

Absolutely great work.

I can't stop laughing at this!

God-tier trolling. 🤣
