This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!

This and the previous comment are officially the hardest I’ve laughed on this platform so far.

Very spot-on. I was expecting a regular HTML-based page but this just looks identical to old.reddit. I'm very impressed.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe Reddit's code was open sourced for a period of time, maybe that's this looks identical.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Every web frontend is source-available. You can do some obfuscation sure, but it's always possible to just grab the computed style properties when the document finished rendering.

Holy christ, there's no going back now, lol. This is BEAUTIFUL.

Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?

Perfect. Now all I need is a ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Throw in automatically embedded thumbnails so you can use Imagus on desktop, a dash of hiding posts you've voted on before and ...

I'm a Kbinaut myself since it was already the closest to old reddit.

Hey... thank you.

I joined reddit when I was 18 and since turning 31 I've gone through quite a lot. Disowned. Beaten. Stabbed. In an abusive relationship. Homeless. Abused some more. Almost all of it was alone. Reddit was the only social media site I ever used and while it changed heavily, it still felt... homey. Was the only consistent thing in my life during that period. Leaving reddit has genuinely fucked me up a bit simply because I had to leave behind the only thing that gave me even a shred of comfort.

While I know I'm pathetic and a specific case, I still wanted to say thanks for making this a lot easier.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I had also been using Reddit for over a decade. I'm only now realising how early I got on Reddit's boat. Was mostly just a lurker but, apart from WhatsApp, the only social media, and main news source (tad cringe, yea). Your comment hist made me think where is the /c/atheism around here. PS: I keep coming here almost everyday. If you ever feel you need to reach out to a stranger, likely across the world, drop me a DM.

This reminds me of that old site that made reddit look like Outlook so you can pretend to be working while on reddit. Now I'm pretending to be on reddit. The ol' switcharoo yadda yadda

--found the site for those curious: http://pcottle.github.io/MSOutlookit/ but I think it's kind of broken now?

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.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

You are a legend for this.

"I've only had old.lemmy for an hour, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

While I don't really care about old Reddit style, it's amazing that you guys made it an option for people used to it. Based!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is awesome, Ruud. You are all doing a great job here sailing this ship! Thanks so much!!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Most excellent.

Are we under any impression that this will have long-term support? Or just a novelty to enjoy while it's here?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

That's a question for the dev of MLMYM

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Well it's open source, so whenever there's demand someone will fork and maintain it, if the original team ever leaves.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

I feel upset with how bad I want this for every instance. I know that change can be good but I want my old creature comforts of when I was 19 and learning about the front page of the internet, chuck testa and maymays

now that's how a community is supposed to be run

good webdev

pat pat

edit: @[email protected] you know, if you really wanted to knock this out of the park... why not add in some features from Reddit Enhancement Suite? I dunno if anyone will ever consider porting RES over to Lemmy, but there were a lot of nice things like drag to zoom that I'll miss. if those features were implemented natively without needing an addon, that'd be super neat.

Wow, i hate to admit it but i really missed this, it is awesome thanks so much.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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

Whoa, this is a trip. It'd be cool to possibly get an option in our settings to automatically redirect to old.lemmy.world

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

I feel a calming warmth, like a nice long hug from a warm grandma. An oh so familiar smell, something I slightly remember from my youth, but new, refreshing, like a cool mist from the ocean lightly hitting your face as watch a new day rise. I am home.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I love this so much. Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Haha cool, unlike old.reddit this also looks great on mobile!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I'm now officially supporting .world on Patreon because of this.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.
