Until now I hadn't realized how disoriented I was still feeling on Lemmy just because I was so used to the old.reddit interface. This is brilliant. Thank you so much.

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 overβ€”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

holy fuck it's like i never left

Guess I wasn't the only one with the idea, huh: https://old.lemmings.world

Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

[–] thehatfox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!

[–] chipamogli@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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.

[–] garyyo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] waterbogan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] normalmighty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

Yes! Thank you @ruud@lemmy.world ❀️

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?

[–] AccSwtch50@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How old is your browser? Also it didn't work with browsers from the early 2010s and earlier unfortunately (probably not top priority, but…).

[–] ziggurism@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Safari 15 from macos monterey from 2021. So not that old.

[–] AccSwtch50@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I guess Safari might be kinda behind (either that, or browsers feom that time period just can't run lemmy-ui), since for me, the browser that breaks using lemmy-ui but works using mlmym is Firefox 54.0.1 from 2017.

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.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh hey, I'm not alone! So I wrote a script that emulates Reddit's behavior when you have checked the "open links in a new tab" option in your user settings.

Edit: You can apply the code to a bookmarklet, and when you go to old.lemmy and click the bookmarklet, links will behave like you like. The downside is every time you load a new page, you have to click it again.

If you prefer, you can use the same code as a Tampermonkey userscript and it will apply it to the site automagically. I put both versions of the script at this pastebin link:

[–] BinarySystem@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Awesome! This worked with tamper monkey so it gets applied automatically. Thanks :)

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Great! I edited my original post to include a Tampermonkey version. Cheers!

[–] PM_ME_FLUFFY_SHIBES@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am sure you could use tampermonkey/greasemonkey userscript for that

[–] BinarySystem@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ooooh that's a good idea. I'll give that a shot.

[–] ephimetheus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

It just worked for me.

It looks genuinely very cool.

[–] Ab_intra@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is absurdly good; well done!

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

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