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.
  
  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.
  
  And the award for best comment chain goes to...
  Hahahahahhahaha
- 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.
- How do I gild this comment?
  
  from
- I was against the talk of introducing a “Lemmy gold” until I stumbled on this comment.
  
  I mean: an award you can give once a month or so isn't bad per se. It was the inflation of those crappy stickers, that they gave you karma and other stuff and that they could be bought what made them unbearable.
  Or even better, just highlight posts with a lot of upvotes or so.
- I’m dead ☠️
- 🪙 A Lemmy silver for you.

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
  
  What about custom CSS. The whole reason why old.reddit was good was because every single sub actually looked like a different environment. I could tell where I was even at a glance, and even on a monochrome screen.

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.
  
  a dash of hiding posts you’ve voted on before
  There’s a setting for hiding posts you’ve read, which includes posts you’ve voted on I think. As it’s in the backend it should work on all frontends.
  I haven’t used it though, I just know it’s there.
- It's not the same without LES.
  
  If it's not mor, it's les.
- Check !plugins@sh.itjust.works there's some good stuff there. Nothing to mlmym though I don't think.
  
  Just added https://old.lemmy.world/post/4087642
- I've noticed that some of the pieces that make up RES are already out there, they're just not part of one extension. I do expect that will happen at some point in the near future.
- lol, had the exact same thought. somehow feels a little dirty.
- https://thesimplecorner.org/post/91450
- This is a userscript which adds keyboard navigation RES-style to mlmym https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/5#issuecomment-1697980044

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.

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."

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
- Well it's open source, so whenever there's demand someone will fork and maintain it, if the original team ever leaves.

I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between “people who preferred old.reddit.com” and “people who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.

This is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!
- It's amazing what can happen when the only vested interest is in making users happy.

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

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.

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

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

Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

holy fuck it's like i never left

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

I love this so much. Thank you!

This is incredible!

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

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.

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

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

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

look at me. I am the reddit now.

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!
- 🫶

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

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

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.

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

This is beautiful

Amazing!

This looks exactly like Old Reddit, holy shit.

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).
- yeah it needs a my communities dropdown to view all subscribed communities.

Thank you Ruud!

Haha this is amazing :D

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