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

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.

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

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

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 voat.com and raddle.me before it). Let's keep that in!

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?

Yes! Thank you @ruud@lemmy.world ❤️

Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

"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."

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 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

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

Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?

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

holy fuck it's like i never left

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!

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

i think i am mean by saying it but i want more options. With more options that maybe have some settings (or better not) i could likely spend a lot of time every week to customize my interaction.

But still good job for implementing the brand new "old" style

I'm happy for you all, but I can't for the life of me understand what's so attractive about this.
