Code can be found here: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym , created by Ryan (Is he here?) (Yes he appears to be! @nnrx@sh.itjust.works ! Thanks for this awesome front-end!)
This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!
How do I gild this comment?
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.

“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.”
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?
What here mlmym stands for?
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

This is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!
Wow, i hate to admit it but i really missed this, it is awesome thanks so much.
Guess I wasn’t the only one with the idea, huh: https://old.lemmings.world
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.
holy fuck it’s like i never left
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!
