Hello everyone!

I've setup two more public interfaces that you can use to browse lemmy.ca:

Enjoy!

This is amazing .... I'm throwing money, coins and credit cards at my screen right now

old.lemmy.ca looks and feels exactly like the old bag of crap website I left a couple of months ago.

DARK MODE ... it even has dark mode! ... keep it up, keep it up!

You guys are amazing and I'm more than happy with the subscribed donation I've given to your instance.

Keep up the great work guys, this is unbelievable!

EDIT: ... I feel like an addict that just got their fix again ... this is amazing ... I'm wiping the powder from my nose and I'm trying to act normal again

Don't thank me so much, it took me 5 minutes to install. The developer deserves all your appreciation since I'm sure it took them way longer.

[–] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for the kind words! @Shadow@lemmy.ca has been amazing.

You guys are amazing and I’m more than happy with the subscribed donation I’ve given to your instance.

Just so you know with the transition to the new team all prior donation subscriptions have been cancelled and we've yet to set up a new system for donations.

We'll let you all know when we have a new system up and running right now but it's not high priority as we're well funded for at least the next 6 to 9 months if we don't have explosive growth.

I joined recently and tried to find lemmy.ca on Patreon, but couldn't. Will you folks set up your presence there? That's where I support all other Fediverse instances I'm using (plus Lemmy itself), so I'm assuming a lot of fedizens will find it natural to support you there.

[–] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll keep that in mind, and I've just had a realization, we can set up all the donation options and just not "cash out" until we're determined non-profit status and how we're going to set up the financial side of it.

[–] SirAramis@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I think if you consider Patreon, also do consider OpenCollective as well. I know a lot of people including myself use it quite often.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

old.lemmy.ca absolutely nails it <3

EDIT: Just noticed the upvotes are blue while the downvotes are red, is that the desired result?

[–] Gray@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I think that's to keep it consistent with the normal Lemmy UI, which also has blue upvotes and red downvotes.

[–] ArmorPlate23@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks so much admins!

We really appreciate this server, and all you do for it.

[–] apes_on_parade@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey! I run a lemmy instance as well and some of our users are asking for the old interface.

Did you deploy mlmym onto the same server as your main lemmy instance, and if so any chance you could share how you adapted your docker and nginx configs? (Assuming you initially had a setup like the one provided by the official lemmy ansible script?)

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just add it to your docker-compose file, then create a new /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ vhost that points to the port you expose from docker.

heh, thanks for your confidence in my abilities! We'll see....

[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The latest version of mlmym includes the subscribed commuunities dropdown in the top bar. Can mlmym be updated to this version, please? The lack of access to one's subscribed communities makes it borderline unusable atm despite how much I like it.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Holy crap that was fast!!! And it now has the 'My communities' dropdown, which makes it much better! Thanks!!

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Holy crapballs. Amazing :)

Now let's get user flair on posts and comments and the migration is complete! :p

EDIT: there's a longstanding request for post flair here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317

..and user flair: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1456

Silly stuff but it makes people feel at home!

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very cool! Is there a way to add the "old" UI to the user settings alongside litely, darkly etc?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Why not use m.lemmy.ca instead for Voyager

Loving the old interface, but am a bit confused on how to search for specific communities on it. When I click on 'more', it brings me to search but I can only do generic searches.
ie: I can search for "topic", but I can't search for "topic@community.com" or "c/topic@community.com". Is this possible right now? Thanks!

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Comprox@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

No worries. I'll do some more testing and request it on their Github if need be. Thanks!

[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now I just need a subscribed community dropdown list like I had with RES

[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

...and now it's there with the new update! Nice!

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Love the recreation of the old interface! I wish some of the edit options (like editing a community you mod) weren't hidden in this skin, though. Guess I should file a github request with the author to expose those.

EDIT: I jut missed where they were, see this post https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/51#issuecomment-1652404012

[–] oliver@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Looks nice thank you.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

MLMYM is a huge benefit for Lemmy. While I'm not one, there are a whole lot of people used to the old reddit interface who will feel at home. It's just like the diggit interface from years ago.

[–] Smk@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It's a piece of software that creates an old-reddit-like interface for Lemmy. If you're asking what it stands for, I have no idea, "Make Lemmy More something something?" if I had to guess?

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Sweet! I saw a Lemmy.world making these moves and was hoping we would get that here. Y'all read my mind!

Great job!

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Feel free to make requests if you see useful things that other instances are doing =)

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just saw the folks at lemdro.id add both voyager and Photon as options for their front end.

https://nu.lemdro.id/

This is the link to their photon. Looks pretty cool. Feels really fast.

I saw it all from this post: https://lemdro.id/post/171020

Anyhow, I also like Voyager. Just thought I'd let you know what they were up to over there.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, I'll add this one too!

[–] cynber@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's also Alexandrite (details on the lemdro.id frontends here): https://lemdro.id/post/148148

Personally I'm not using Photon or Alexandrite, but it might be nice to have?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

This container currently needs to be run as root, which I'm unwilling to do. I'll see if I can patch it this weekend and submit a PR to fix it upstream.

[–] stormio@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is awesome! Is there any way to share the login information between the different user interfaces? In other words, can you make it so that we don't have to re-login on each interface?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

No, each is completely isolated from each other. They'd all have to support some shared SSO, which I can't see anyone bothering to write TBH.

[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's really awesome. The old.lemmy.ca looks surprisingly like old that-other-place.

[–] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When did saying Reddit become the equivalent of saying Voldemort?

[–] zappy@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like it's time to get out of the loop up and running again

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Here ya go! https://lemmy.ca/c/outoftheloop EDIT: !outoftheloop@lemmy.ca

There are some on the other instances, but none of them appear to have any postings... the lemmy-verse will decide, in Darwinian fashion, which becomes the 'outoftheloop'.

Post on there and I'll make you a mod if you like :)

[–] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !outoftheloop@lemmy.ca
