Idk why people like the old reddit UI and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Actually, I'll ask it anyway. Can somebody please give me a comprehensive explanation?
Is it just nostalgia? I would understand, I play retro games with CRT filter on.

I might be missing it, but is there a side-bar to view my subscribed communities? I think on old.reddit, there was a pop-out bar on the left side of the window (but that may have been from RES).

Haha this is amazing :D

[โ€“] Kosmos 7 points 2 years ago

Dude, this is amazing! Thank you.

[โ€“] CaptainStrider 7 points 2 years ago

Bruh this is literally reddit. Very nice design.

[โ€“] hatter 7 points 2 years ago

After using old.reddit for ~15 years (of course back then it was called just reddit) I have to say I don't miss it one bit. It had so many issues, but was still infinitely better than the abomination they came up with to replace it so I stuck with it. While far from perfect, I much prefer Lemmy's UI.

With that said, having the option is great. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people with the transition.

[โ€“] Waldhuette 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Damn that is amazing. I wonder if we will also see some kind of RES equivalent for Lemmy

[โ€“] afoutopatisa 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I have a keyboard navigation userscript here -> https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation

However it only works with the normal Lemmy site. I will adjust it for MLMYM too. Feel free to submit a PR too!

Feedback always welcome!

[โ€“] mjhagen 7 points 2 years ago

I wonder if RES would work on this?

[โ€“] BinarySystem 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (7 children)

I think the only thing that's really missing for me and not just from old.lemmy.world but from the normal Lemmy UI. The ability to have clicking on links open in a new tab. I don't know why but I just really like having stuff open in a new tab so I can then come back to exactly where I left off.

Regardless this looks crazy good.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Middle clicking a link (clicking with the mouse wheel) or ctrl clicking, opens links in a new tab.

Middle clicking also closes a tab of you middle click on it.

Now I just need LES and I'll be very happy.

[โ€“] dasnet 6 points 2 years ago

Fantastic lol I am lucky to be on this ride

[โ€“] afoutopatisa 6 points 2 years ago

BTW I have a userscript for Keyboard navigation that works on Lemmy https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation

If anyone wishes to help make this compatible for old.lemmy feel free to drop a PR! I'm kinda busy these days.

[โ€“] leapingleopard 6 points 2 years ago

I feel like a shill I've been pumping this so hard, as others have said, it feels like home.

Thank you for bringing it to more peoples attention so that we can make all of this stick around and take hold

[โ€“] ikidd 6 points 2 years ago

I. Fucking. Love. It.

Thank you.

[โ€“] Buddahriffic 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah this proves that old reddit wasn't peak design, the direction they were taking it in was just a bad one. Probably because it tried to discourage spending time in the comments sections, which IMO was the whole point of the site.

I wonder if they would be profitable if they had just included some non-intrusive text ads every 20 or 30 comments or so. Or add in code to detect when people are talking about a product and adding in an Amazon link to that product or something like that. The whole "ads must look like posts" thing was unnecessarily rigid, in hindsight.

[โ€“] bloodninja 6 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah! Thanks!

[โ€“] n0pe 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Too weird for me. I like it here now. That gave me the willies.

Amazing! Just one quibble, Upvoting/downvoting doesn't appear to work for me.

Edit: nevermind, works fine after clearing cookies and cache.

Anyways I'm so glad this was made, I only ever browsed desktop reddit using old.reddit.com and now I feel at home with this UI. :)

I'm seriously impressed by how good this looks

[โ€“] hal_5700X 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Good job. All you need is away to see and go to your subscribed communities. Like you can on Reddit.

EDIT Looking for new communities on that style of Lemmy is hard. Because here's no easy to find a list of them like normal Lemmy.

I love this, but I don't seem to be able to post comments with this view. The page refreshes but the comment doesn't appear, chrome shows the POST request returned a 301.
