This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!
Lmao 💀
How do I gild this comment?
Very spot-on. I was expecting a regular HTML-based page but this just looks identical to old.reddit. I’m very impressed.
What here mlmym stands for?

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!
This is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!

Haha cool, unlike old.reddit this also looks great on mobile!
Yes! Thank you @[email protected] ❤️

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
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?
I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between “people who preferred old.reddit.com” and “people who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.
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.
Wow, i hate to admit it but i really missed this, it is awesome thanks so much.
