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.

Dude, this is amazing! Thank you.

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

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.

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

Bruh this is literally reddit. Very nice design.

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

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.

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

Anyway to get res working with it?

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.

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 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

I wonder if RES would work on this?

I. Fucking. Love. It.

Thank you.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. :)

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.

Oh. My. God.

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

This made my day!

Fantastic lol I am lucky to be on this ride

clicks link

blinks

MOTHER OF GOD.....

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

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

Very cool

This is awesome, 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.

Well, this is a game changer. Thank you!

Hell yeah! Thanks!
