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!
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

Thank you Ruud!
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.

Damn that is amazing. I wonder if we will also see some kind of RES equivalent for Lemmy
I have a keyboard navigation userscript here -> https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation
However it only works with the normal Lemmy site. I will adjust it for MLMYM too. Feel free to submit a PR too!
Feedback always welcome!
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.
Middle clicking a link (clicking with the mouse wheel) or ctrl clicking, opens links in a new tab.
Middle clicking also closes a tab of you middle click on it.

Bruh this is literally reddit. Very nice design.
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.
Now I just need LES and I'll be very happy.
I wonder if RES would work on this?
Dude, this is amazing! Thank you.
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.
Fantastic lol I am lucky to be on this ride
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.
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!
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. :)
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.
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
Its so beautiful! I really like it!
LMAO this is great!
This is amazing, thank you! I really appreciate the effort that the lemmy admins are making to cater to various users.
You actually did it! Amazing! Thank you so much!
This is awesome, thank you!
This is GLORIOUS!!!!
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
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 made my day!
