What happened to old.lemmy.world?
It's ded, Jim. :(
There’s a post somewhere and one of the admins replied. I believe it’s temp disabled for now while they fix some things on the back end.

The actual software that provides the "old.reddit"-alike interface to Lemmy instances is mlmym:
https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
A lot of the frontends can be run remotely, don't need to run on the remote instance. Photon, for example, isn't even aimed at the local instance at all -- it'll take any domain, in the URL, and when you log in, you specify the lemmy instance that you want to talk to. 'course, you're shoving your password to it, so you'd want to trust whoever is running it with those credentials. I'd be a little cautious about that. But for local instances, hey, you trust yourself.
It looks to me kinda like mlmym might also qualify, and it looks like it's just a docker command or two to run it, if you're familiar with that system.
If that's true, if you wanted, you might be able to just run your own local mlmym instance and have it talk to lemmy.world. You don't need to wait for them to get their own instance back up.
10How do you pronounce "mlmym"?
3Like it's written ! But in a totally logical way like gif. Some "m"'s are pronounced as "n"'s, the prononciation of the "l" and "y" are exchaned, and at the end you have to insist on the last letter

I think it's buggy with the latest version of lemmy. I run it and it keeps throwing errors and the dev is not responsive on github
