YSK: there is a Lemmy frontend similar to old reddit called mlmym

Why YSK: you can recreate the old Reddit experience by using this frontend for those who have always used old.reddit. It also gives a nostalgic feel, is more efficent, and loads faster than the Lemmy interface.

Does it have a dark mode or is it retina burning blue and white?

gsa32@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 3y

Yes it has a dark mode

Awesome, will give a try. Thanks.

It's actually great. I would love to see it's options expanded a bit, and moving things like community icon and banner onto the top bar where they are on old.reddit but it looks really good thus far.

gsa32@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Agreed, I don't like the banner on the sidebar but it's great! I would also like the option for custom CSS in communities like on Reddit

This is so good that I almost wish it was the default theme.

It's brilliant! I started trying to use RES features before realizing they weren't there.

Would love to have multis and such. Great start, can't wait to see if more options get added!

Cool stuff! I just took a brief look and it was very recognizable, which is cool. Does / will it have RES features implemented?

Basically, only instance admins could deploy this, right?

Would be nice to have this as an option under Themes.

no you can just go to mlmym.org and login there. does not need to be loaded on the instance at all.

Do we trust them not to steal credentials?

KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 3y

You can run your own docker instance if you don't trust them. The code - along with an example of how to run it - are here https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

They do have published source code, so you can look through that if you're concerned, or host your own version instead.

Hmmm yeah this does seem to be proxying login info. Ideally it would be done like elk.zone and mastodon where it kicks you out to an oauth flow that returns with an app token you can later revoke in your account settings. But I'm guessing that doesn't exist for lemmy yet.

On the bright side the UI looks amazing

Ah I see. Thanks for the tip!

WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

Oh shit, this is kind of weird in a good way

This feels nice.

jimmy90@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

this is really cool. how is it with security?

T156@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

Now all we need is for someone to recreate Reddit's compact interface for those older devices that can't run the apps, or for people who just want a lighter site.

Truthstopiary@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

Wow! This is awesome. Nostalgia city!

kbity@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Nice, here's hoping for a Kbin version once Kbin's API is ready!

osarusan@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Same here!!

Is anyone able to log in? Whenever I try, it just refreshes the page. When I go to the login page and do it from there, I get a Bad gateway error.
