Great work!

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

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 @[email protected] ❤️

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.

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.

Most excellent.

Are we under any impression that this will have long-term support? Or just a novelty to enjoy while it's here?

now that's how a community is supposed to be run

good webdev

pat pat

edit: @[email protected] 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 is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!

Wow, i hate to admit it but i really missed this, it is awesome thanks so much.

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

I love this so much. Thank you!

This is incredible!

holy fuck it's like i never left

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

Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

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

The creator appears to be @[email protected].

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.

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.

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

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

look at me. I am the reddit now.

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!

This is beautiful

Complete and utter game changer

This looks exactly like Old Reddit, holy shit.

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

Amazing!

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Thank you Ruud!

Anyway to get res working with it?

Haha this is amazing :D

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).

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

My god. Its full of stars.

This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much!

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

This is so awesome.

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.

Bruh this is literally reddit. Very nice design.

Dude, this is amazing! Thank you.

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

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?

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

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

Fantastic lol I am lucky to be on this ride

I'm seriously impressed by how good this looks

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. Fucking. Love. It.

Thank you.

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

Hell yeah! Thanks!

Oh. My. God.

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.

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. :)

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

This is GLORIOUS!!!!

This is awesome, thank you!

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.

This is amazing!!! thanks a lot

Lol amazing

LMAO this is great!

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.

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

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.

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

Its so beautiful! I really like it!

This made my day!

Well, this is a game changer. Thank you!

clicks link

blinks

MOTHER OF GOD.....

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

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

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

I love this so much. Thank you!

I could kiss you. Thank you

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

Very cool

Open link in new tab, please

lmao now we need Lemmy Enhancement Suite

This looks amazing!!!

fantastic, thank you!!

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.

This is brilliant! Thank you very much!

Oh man, this is just beautiful.

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

this is epic

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

Thank you for this!

this is awesome - thanks.

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

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

This is hilarious, nice work : D

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

Feels really nice and neat✅

Loving it, keeping it.

It's beautiful!

I'm getting an error when logging into the old version. Hope that gets resolved soon.

Ruud is the MVP of the Fediverse 🥳

Omg, I’m in heaven!

Yes, this is it. I had to do some unspeakable things to lemmy via stylus to get it to look decent.

I feel dirty just clicking that link.

This is amazing! The fediverse gets better every day.

This is awesome. Thanks

YES KING!!!!!

Give me dark mode and I'm done.

Edit: Nevermind I saw the settings. I'm happy now.

Also, for the people from other instances go here: https://mlmym.org/

This is amazing! Thank you so much as sad I was to see FMHY go down this was a welcome change to using lemmy.world. (also first post here!)

This is fucking amazing, Thank you so much !!

on a sidenote, can we get the option to open all links in a new tab please?

Amazing.

Amazing! I love it.

Needs to be enabled on every instance! Thank you!

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.

Holyyyyyy shit

10/10

Thank you so much.

"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."

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

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).

My freaking goodness! This is like coming home to steaks and hot apple pie!

@[email protected]: you are kickass.

Aw man that's awful, that's a reason why we left that ... but well done, gave me a laugh 😂

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

Am I the only one that can't log in? When logging in I keep getting a blank page.

Cool! Thanks @[email protected]! :)

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

This looks great, but I;m not sure which one I prefer. Both work nicely, so both will live next to each other for a while. (although I use liftoff a lot more then a webbrowser on PC)

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.

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.

Oh that's very nice!

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

Damn!

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

Love it, I hope lemmy.ml can have this feature too

This is excellent.

I really appreciate that he made it a docker so it's super easy to selfhost and use for whatever instance you want.

Sadly you can't log in on it or change any settings. Just lurk.

I love this so much...

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 :)

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.

Absolutely great work.

The default UI of lemmy doesn't work for me at all. It doesn't load. Like I get the header of a page, but no content, just a swirling loading throbber that never arrives. Like instead of actually serving me an html page, it's a horrible javascript application that will pull the content later. But it never does, probably because my browser is too old or idk.

i haven't been able to access lemmy.world from desktop for at least a week now.

but it works fine on my phone in the memmy app. and now old.lemmy.world works. thanks!

but also is there somewhere i should go to bugreport the default page?

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

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

This is awesome!

This is so much better, congrats Ryan

This is great!

Holy crap, Batman. Love it!

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.)

please add the option to hide child comment by default

Okay, this is sick.

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

amazing!!

I just opened the link and giggled my ass off. That is fantastic. Nicely done.

Okay, yes.

This totally sparks joy. :D

This is actually pretty cool. Feels like I never left reddit now haha.

I love it.

Perfect

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.

Ridiculous. I love it.

thank you so much for this!!

Amazing adaption! Hilarious too. It's interesting to see Lemmy content in that familiar interface. I like the normal Lemmy interface, but did use old.reddit for years and years, even on my phones... I never had any sort of apps, I just used that.

hah, this is fantastic. Good on you Ruud

I can't stop laughing at this!

God-tier trolling. 🤣

what a beuaty!

Is "hide" available on Lemmy?

Especially the apps (Just tonight moved from Connect to Liftoff, but it's starting to seem like the bugs are on the server itself. Unable to vote even though subscribed and on that server, etc. I'm going to find a different instance and give it a shot.

I have no doubt, with time other instances will have it too

#HOPE 🙂

Excellent idea, would certainly help ease the transition for folks who have moved over from Reddit on desktop. I mostly use kbin but this old design strongly has me considering using this lemmy.world account more often.

OK, this looks perfect

Noob question: Can someone tell/direct me how to get this working with lemmy.ml ? OR can I somehow use my .ml account on .world?

I can possibly do this myself on my local machine, but dont have the time, if someone has already done it or if there is some easy path i am missing?

thanks !

Connect for Lemmy used to throw error, giving you a illusion that posting a comment failed, so you click again. Rinse repeat.

This is why there are duplicate posts/comments.

For me problems were gone when I switched to Liftoff app.

holy shit

Oh my gosh, this is exactly what I needed to commit to the jump. Thankyou for accommodating us creatures of habit.

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.

Even when I am not a fan of this old style I can see its charm and I think it works quite great, maybe old should not be the name though? why not classic?

Don't know if this bug is reported upstream or not.

My default listing is "subscribed", if I go to "Top All" and click next page button, I get "Top Sucscribed, page 2". (my current listing doesn't last)

I can't log in to this. Is this intentional or is something broken?

Thank you Ryan!

I am using this now and it is marvellous. Like someone has handed back to me an old and much loved garment, but it is all fixed up and restored to as new condition

Oh my God it's beautiful!

I know there are a couple of other *.lemmy.world domains, are they actually listed anywhere? feels like they would make sense to be added into the starting guide stickied here for newbies.

Ooh! Old Reddit style. Noice!

What here mlmym stands for?

Good job man You made me raise my eyebrows 😯

I love it, let's keep it!

brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful

Holy crap I love you

This is really great however, I was wondering if anyone used i.reddit.com? its more compact on mobile

It looks genuinely very cool.

This is really cool, I may steal this idea for my own instance. Great work!

Can't seem to be able to log in on the old interface.

I seem to be missing reply buttons on the old style.

It looks nice, although IMHO I don't like the old Reddit design very much, I like the card design or whatever is called, I don't like to have to maximize every single picture or video all the times, is there any interface or plugin for this?

WOAH! AWESOME

Thank you for this! Now I can browse on the desktop again!

Oh my god it is beautiful

This is the best thing I ever saw!

i think i am mean by saying it but i want more options. With more options that maybe have some settings (or better not) i could likely spend a lot of time every week to customize my interaction.

But still good job for implementing the brand new "old" style

I would love it more if it wasn’t a contrast nightmare. It looks like it was designed exclusively for the colorblind.

Lime green, pale blue, and black/white are you out of your fucking mind?

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

lol wat?!

Based

This is absurdly good; well done!

Hate to admit it, but that interface does feel very comfortable.

Looks terrible. old.reddit.com was, not surprisingly, equally bad. It was just great compared to reddit.com. Not sure who requested this though. Which is coming from someone who would have left reddit a long time ago had it not been for old.reddit
