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

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.

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?

You are a legend for this.

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.

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!

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

Most excellent.

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

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

"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."

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

good webdev

pat pat

edit: @nnrx@sh.itjust.works 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.

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

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 over—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

Guess I wasn't the only one with the idea, huh: https://old.lemmings.world

Ruud >>> Spez

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

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.

I love this so much. Thank you!

This is actually amazing. I'm starting to love Lemmy, the content and comments are feeling like my first days on reddit, but cleaner and it has that good free/open source feeling. I'm gradually visiting Lemmy more each day. Once a RES-like extension comes out, I'll be full time here.

Edit: it even has dark mode and endless scrolling. Unbelievable.

Btw, old reddit used to display the exact upvote/downvote counts ("x upvoted, y downvoted") for posts AND comments in the "title" attribute of the total number, visible as a tooltip when hovering the mouse over it. All that "x% upvoted it" for posts and removing the counts entirely for comments was nonsense pushed through by the previous reddit jerk CEO on 2014-06-18 against all community opposition (what is it with reddit and dumping unpopular changes in June?).

If you gonna recreate old reddit, please do not include these later CEO meddlings in it! One of the best features of lemmy is the display of exact counts (which was also a major advertised draw of voatcom and raddleme before it). Let's keep that in!

This is incredible!

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

will reddit enhancement suite work on this? this is fantastic!!! good job lemmy team

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

Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

I'm home. I'm finally home. Well, time to put on some PJ's and stay a while.

holy fuck it's like i never left

The creator appears to be @nnrx@sh.itjust.works.

That's awesome. Hope we can get RES for this.

This is so wonderful. Both easy and familiar to use and inspires much nostalgia of course. This is how I will Lemmy from desktop from now on.

Woww. Just wow. I’m not on World but this is great.

This is absolutely amazing. Thank you and the devs of this so much. Feels like home.

This is beautiful

that's hilarious, but could i use RES extension?

look at me. I am the reddit now.

Wow, just beautiful and right on time. Was advertising the lemmy community today to friends who got stuck with reddit, and this is just the ringer i was looking for.

Hope Ryan is here: Thanks mate!! And to Ruud and the other admins: you r doing a great job here. And it is fun to return here every single time, because of the work you invest into this instance!

Complete and utter game changer

I just realized all the links are at the top too, thank you so much for doing this.

I would love dark mode on this. Ideally all RES features as well but that would be a ton of work, I'm happy with just this

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

If we could get something to organize/manage our lemmy communities (sublemmies?) at the top like subreddits that would be fantastic. Given the great work your team is doing it's probably already in the works. Thanks to you I've just about completed excising Reddit from my life, just need lemmy topics to start popping up in search engines and to pull in some more diaspora to flesh out the communities.

I hope both Reddit and Twitter go the way of Myspace, we humans deserve better than to be treated like digital chattel being milked for money and data.

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

Amazing!

For April Fool's Day can you guys switch out lemmy-ui for lemmyBB?
