Holy shit this is awesome! Although I steadily got used to the lemmy UI this definitely feels like home :)

[โ€“] ZeroDrek@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Anyway to get res working with it?

[โ€“] Waldhuette@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Damn that is amazing. I wonder if we will also see some kind of RES equivalent for Lemmy

[โ€“] afoutopatisa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have a keyboard navigation userscript here -> https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation

However it only works with the normal Lemmy site. I will adjust it for MLMYM too. Feel free to submit a PR too!

Feedback always welcome!

[โ€“] mjhagen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I wonder if RES would work on this?

[โ€“] Kosmos@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Dude, this is amazing! Thank you.

[โ€“] Dankry@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Okay, this is going to significantly increase my Lemmy usage. Thank you so much to the dev(s)! Between having an "old.lemmy.world" now and Memmy (which does a great job of replicating Apollo) I'm able to almost perfectly duplicate how I liked to browse reddit. Now I'm just hoping someone develops a RES (LES) extension someday!

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.

[โ€“] PopcornUnicorn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Middle clicking a link (clicking with the mouse wheel) or ctrl clicking, opens links in a new tab.

Middle clicking also closes a tab of you middle click on it.

Idk why people like the old reddit UI and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Actually, I'll ask it anyway. Can somebody please give me a comprehensive explanation?
Is it just nostalgia? I would understand, I play retro games with CRT filter on.

After using old.reddit for ~15 years (of course back then it was called just reddit) I have to say I don't miss it one bit. It had so many issues, but was still infinitely better than the abomination they came up with to replace it so I stuck with it. While far from perfect, I much prefer Lemmy's UI.

With that said, having the option is great. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people with the transition.

[โ€“] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah this proves that old reddit wasn't peak design, the direction they were taking it in was just a bad one. Probably because it tried to discourage spending time in the comments sections, which IMO was the whole point of the site.

I wonder if they would be profitable if they had just included some non-intrusive text ads every 20 or 30 comments or so. Or add in code to detect when people are talking about a product and adding in an Amazon link to that product or something like that. The whole "ads must look like posts" thing was unnecessarily rigid, in hindsight.

Now I just need LES and I'll be very happy.

Bruh this is literally reddit. Very nice design.

[โ€“] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I. Fucking. Love. It.

Thank you.

[โ€“] bloodninja@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah! Thanks!

[โ€“] TheSim2023@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This is amazing! It is part being familiar with old.reddit and having much more information on screen compared to the normal lemmy interface that makes this so great.

Because let's beat that dead horse again: not everyone reads webpages on their phone: I have a 32" 4k screen and I handle more that 8 lines of text at once on a page.

[โ€“] sma3in@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone able to log in or this is just a prototype?

the new design has issues on my browser with voting etc, but the old design works..? okay i mean.. atleast i now have a option to use lemmy on my main browser.. after the lemmy devs didn't wanted to fix the issue on GitHub i reported and just told me to update instead my browser.

[โ€“] genoxidedev1@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

LES when? Just kidding (...or am I?), awesome work as always! I've seen ~~a similar~~ this project floating around ~~late last month~~ two weeks ago ~~I think~~ but having it linked to old.lemmy.world is much better.

Edit: It was actually the same project just with a different link connected to it! It was also 2 weeks ago not late last month

[โ€“] erockdanger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This is GLORIOUS!!!!

[โ€“] infotainment@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You actually did it! Amazing! Thank you so much!

I feel like a shill I've been pumping this so hard, as others have said, it feels like home.

Thank you for bringing it to more peoples attention so that we can make all of this stick around and take hold

[โ€“] hal_5700X@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Good job. All you need is away to see and go to your subscribed communities. Like you can on Reddit.

EDIT Looking for new communities on that style of Lemmy is hard. Because here's no easy to find a list of them like normal Lemmy.

[โ€“] dasnet@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Fantastic lol I am lucky to be on this ride

This is amazing, thank you! I really appreciate the effort that the lemmy admins are making to cater to various users.

[โ€“] ItzLiftin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Its so beautiful! I really like it!

Well, this is a game changer. Thank you!

[โ€“] ActionRetro@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

This is awesome, thank you!

[โ€“] afoutopatisa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

BTW I have a userscript for Keyboard navigation that works on Lemmy https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation

If anyone wishes to help make this compatible for old.lemmy feel free to drop a PR! I'm kinda busy these days.

[โ€“] n0pe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Too weird for me. I like it here now. That gave me the willies.
