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.
And the award for best comment chain goes to…
Hahahahahhahaha
Lmao 💀
Very spot-on. I was expecting a regular HTML-based page but this just looks identical to old.reddit. I’m very impressed.
I believe Reddit’s code was open sourced for a period of time, maybe that’s this looks identical.

Well yeah, but I imagine being able to look at Reddit’s back end code might have helped make sure it behaves identically to the real thing.
How do I gild this comment?

Lol, it’s just like how reddit silver used to be

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.

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.

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.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.

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?
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.
You are a legend for this.
I’m getting “site unreachable” on old.
“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?

This is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!
It’s amazing what can happen when the only vested interest is in making users happy.
