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.

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.

"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.

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!

Most excellent.

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

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

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

Ruud >>> Spez

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.

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

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 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.

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

This is incredible!

I love this so much. Thank you!

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

Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

holy fuck it's like i never left

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

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

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

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

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 beautiful

look at me. I am the reddit now.

Complete and utter game changer

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!

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

Account created and verified simply for the pleasure of clicking on this post's upvote button.

Problem, though - the upvote count isn't fuzzed haha.

Anyone able to log in or this is just a prototype?

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

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

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.

Amazing!

This looks exactly like Old Reddit, holy shit.

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

Okay, this is going to significantly increase my Lemmy usage. Thank you so much to the dev(s)! Between having an "old.lemmy.world" now and Memmy (which does a great job of replicating Apollo) I'm able to almost perfectly duplicate how I liked to browse reddit. Now I'm just hoping someone develops a RES (LES) extension someday!

Haha this is amazing :D

Does logging in work for you all? I'm on my phone with desktop mode on and it redirects to a blank page after logging in

Thank you Ruud!

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).

It is beautiful! Now all we need is RES and dark mode :)

This is so awesome.

My god. Its full of stars.

Anyway to get res working with it?

This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much!

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.

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.

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

Dude, this is amazing! Thank you.

Bruh this is literally reddit. Very nice design.

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

I wonder if RES would work on this?

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.

I. Fucking. Love. It.

Thank you.

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

Oh. My. God.

Fantastic lol I am lucky to be on this ride

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. :)

Permanently Deleted

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.

I'm seriously impressed by how good this looks

Hell yeah! Thanks!

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

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.

This is amazing! It is part being familiar with old.reddit and having much more information on screen compared to the normal lemmy interface that makes this so great.

Because let's beat that dead horse again: not everyone reads webpages on their phone: I have a 32" 4k screen and I handle more that 8 lines of text at once on a page.

Its so beautiful! I really like it!

This made my day!

LES when? Just kidding (...or am I?), awesome work as always! I've seen a similar this project floating around late last month two weeks ago I think but having it linked to old.lemmy.world is much better.

Edit: It was actually the same project just with a different link connected to it! It was also 2 weeks ago not late last month

This is GLORIOUS!!!!

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.

LMAO this is great!

Well, this is a game changer. Thank you!

I'm getting an SSL handshake error whenever I try to reach it

Lol amazing

You actually did it! Amazing! Thank you so much!

This is amazing, thank you! I really appreciate the effort that the lemmy admins are making to cater to various users.

This gave me back the one feature I really really wanted.. Endless scroll. This is PERFECT. Thank you so freaking much, seriously. I wish everyone who is skeptical about moving over could see this.

Thanks so much OP

This is awesome, thank you!

I could kiss you. Thank you

the new design has issues on my browser with voting etc, but the old design works..? okay i mean.. atleast i now have a option to use lemmy on my main browser.. after the lemmy devs didn't wanted to fix the issue on GitHub i reported and just told me to update instead my browser.

Feels really nice and neat✅

this is awesome - thanks.

This is hilarious, nice work : D

This is brilliant! Thank you very much!

this is epic

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.

Very cool

It's beautiful!

Do we have a favicon yet? Or is it only me who can't see it?

clicks link

blinks

MOTHER OF GOD.....

I can't decide is this is good for me or bad for me, but thank you!

#$#$%^@#%#$ amazing!

lmao now we need Lemmy Enhancement Suite

Ah man, thank you. This is a comfortable pair of shoes.

I love this so much. Thank you!

Open link in new tab, please

Loving it, keeping it.

haha ... this is brilliant ... +1

Should it still be called old? It’s not like we ever had that here to start with. I recommend calling it something else.

Thank you for this!

This is amazing!!! thanks a lot

This is brilliant in ways that both defy, and renew, comprehension.

Can we also get a new.lemmy.world? Having New Reddit's mobile UI would make using lemmy easier on mobile

fantastic, thank you!!

My God. This is world changing. This is amazing.

Amazing! I love it.

My freaking goodness! This is like coming home to steaks and hot apple pie!

@nnrx@sh.itjust.works: you are kickass.

Brilliant! Now all that's missing is the "hide" button.

this hits right in the middle of uncanny valley

Aw man that's awful, that's a reason why we left that ... but well done, gave me a laugh 😂

This is amazing! The fediverse gets better every day.

Ruud is the MVP of the Fediverse 🥳

Yes, this is it. I had to do some unspeakable things to lemmy via stylus to get it to look decent.

Needs to be enabled on every instance! Thank you!

I just can't see the upvote/downvote counts when I hover over the score like I can with the normal Lemmy style, other than that it looks pretty good!

Edit: Oh and all those buttons under the posts and comments would be cool too. (Like context, crosspost, etc.)

This is fucking amazing, Thank you so much !!

on a sidenote, can we get the option to open all links in a new tab please?

Looks and feels good, but I couldn't get it to upload a picture. Not sure if it's on my end or what, but when I go to post, it gives an error about the file location (points locally because it didn't actually upload).

Holyyyyyy shit

10/10

Absolutely brilliant!

YES KING!!!!!

Amazing.

Give me dark mode and I'm done.

Edit: Nevermind I saw the settings. I'm happy now.

Also, for the people from other instances go here: https://mlmym.org/

I'm getting an error when logging into the old version. Hope that gets resolved soon.

Thank you so much.
