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.
While we’re on the subject of UIs, can we get an account option to disable or collapse embedded images/gifs in comments? I want that classic reddit feel of just text and links to images.
Lmao 💀
Very spot-on. I was expecting a regular HTML-based page but this just looks identical to old.reddit. I’m very impressed.
How do I gild this comment?

I love this so much. Much like a child’s drawing or even Lemmy itself, it might look rough but at the same time it’s exactly what I want to see.
Lol, it’s just like how reddit silver used to be

I was against the talk of introducing a “Lemmy gold” until I stumbled on this comment.
I mean: an award you can give once a month or so isn’t bad per se. It was the inflation of those crappy stickers, that they gave you karma and other stuff and that they could be bought what made them unbearable.
Or even better, just highlight posts with a lot of upvotes or so.
I’m dead ☠️

Holy christ, there’s no going back now, lol. This is BEAUTIFUL.
Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?
Ask in their GitHub repo.
Actually, I see it in the options 😃
Endless Scrolling + Auto Load More
I love you
What about custom CSS. The whole reason why old.reddit was good was because every single sub actually looked like a different environment. I could tell where I was even at a glance, and even on a monochrome screen.
Perfect. Now all I need is a
RedditLemmy Enhancement Suite.It’s not the same without LES.
If it’s not mor, it’s les.
Check !plugins@sh.itjust.works there’s some good stuff there. Nothing to mlmym though I don’t think.

I’ve noticed that some of the pieces that make up RES are already out there, they’re just not part of one extension. I do expect that will happen at some point in the near future.
lol, had the exact same thought. somehow feels a little dirty.
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.
a dash of hiding posts you’ve voted on before
There’s a setting for hiding posts you’ve read, which includes posts you’ve voted on I think. As it’s in the backend it should work on all frontends.
I haven’t used it though, I just know it’s there.
This is a userscript which adds keyboard navigation RES-style to mlmym https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/5#issuecomment-1697980044

My new girlfriend wearing my ex-wife’s lingerie
Yes! Thank you @ruud@lemmy.world ❤️
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?
The dedication to recreation here is legit!
I was a big fan of Ghostzilla
You are a legend for this.
I’m getting “site unreachable” on old.

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!
“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.”
Most excellent.
Are we under any impression that this will have long-term support? Or just a novelty to enjoy while it’s here?
That’s a question for the dev of MLMYM
Well it’s open source, so whenever there’s demand someone will fork and maintain it, if the original team ever leaves.

I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between “people who preferred old.reddit.com” and “people who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.
