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.

Very spot-on. I was expecting a regular HTML-based page but this just looks identical to old.reddit. I'm very impressed.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 year ago

I believe Reddit's code was open sourced for a period of time, maybe that's this looks identical.

[-] madcow@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago

Every web frontend is source-available. You can do some obfuscation sure, but it's always possible to just grab the computed style properties when the document finished rendering.

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

Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?

[-] ruud@lemmy.world 114 points 1 year ago
[-] MrMusAddict@lemmy.world 104 points 1 year ago

Actually, I see it in the options 😃

Endless Scrolling + Auto Load More

Perfect. Now all I need is a ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

It's not the same without LES.

Yes! Thank you @ruud@lemmy.world ❤️

[-] obrenden@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 46 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

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."

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

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

[-] InfiniteSpaces@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Wow, i hate to admit it but i really missed this, it is awesome thanks so much.

[-] thehatfox@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 21 points 1 year ago

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

[-] TauZero@mander.xyz 20 points 1 year ago

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!

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

Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

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.
