Omfg! This is the best thing to happen to fediverse for people like me who were addicted to old.reddit

[–] fox@vlemmy.net 6 points 1 year ago

this made me realize one of the things I like about the old design is how many posts you can see at a glance.

Are there any plans to add keyboard navigation like old.reddit.com + RES?

[–] 3v1n0@feddit.it 5 points 1 year ago

I hope so, I'd suggest to open an issue in github

Works pretty well, too. It kinda messes with my head. I entered the instance, and thought for a second I just got redirected to reddit somehow.

Oh wow, this is epic. And a mindfuck. I love it!

@liaizon @lemmy was wondering who's the author 🤔 found the repo here https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

@liaizon @lemmy that’s pretty cool!

How do I make this work for lemmy.world? I replaced lemmy.ml with lemmy.world and it loads, but there's no content. I can click on the headings at the top, but Local, and Subscribed won't populate. I know it should work with lemmy.world because that was used in the example shot on the github.

What a time to be alive!

My god, what a weird experience that was.

I’ve been using old.reddit over the last couple of days to manage my bot as it shreds my old account histories, so to look at that interface without feeling sad is very unnerving.

Looks awesome, this might be my new go-to means of browsing Lemmy. I was using a userstyle to make Lemmy more like old reddit, but this is a literal almost 1-to-1 replica of the UI I've enjoyed for so long and it feels pretty much completely functional.

I'd like it to let you choose your preferred comment sort method though, so I could pick sort by top as default like reddit did.

Can someone please eli5 why so many people are obsessed with the old reddit look and feel? It looks awful and very uncomfortable to use

It was ugly but functional (well, functional with the RES browser plugin, I mean).

I have yet to see a desktop Lemmy UI that uses the full width of my browser window. That alone makes them very annoying to use.

I've been using this script to make things significantly better on the default Lemmy UI.
