I think the old Lemmy alternative frontend supports no JS. But I'm not sure whether the dev is still actively maintaining it: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
This is available as old.lemmy.world
https://old.thelemmy.club/
Unfortunately with Lemmy 1.0 MLMYM (the software used to provide this UI) will have to be shutdown, unless the MLMYM dev re-appears or someone forks and maintains it.
MrKaplan already forked it and is keeping it on life support for lemmy.world. I've been trying to make enough sense of it to fix several issues that have been bugging me for a while, and will contribute my fixes there if I can figure them out.
I've only got a few hours each weekend where I have good concentration + enough free time to work on it, and don't know the relevant languages (Go, Rust, TypeScript), so my progress is pretty slow... but I'm still poking at it.
Wow thanks for the info and the work. I don't use it much since 99% of my Lemmy use is on mobile and I prefer stock Lemmy for admin stuff, but I know at least a few of my users use it.
I'm going to see if that fork is something I can just drop in the docker compose file. That'll be awesome if so.
Do they intend to make it 1.0 compatible or is this beyond the scope right now?
I don't know what anyone else intends to do, but if I can fix the issues I'm currently looking at -- and no one else has stepped up in the interim -- I'll at least take a look at the 1.0 stuff. (I use mlmym and would like it to keep working...)
tbh it's probably not going to be too complicated to switch to 1.0. the current api is generated from lemmy-js-client, but 1.0 api has an official openapi file. if there is a decently usable openapi generator for go that would probably not be too complicated to swap in instead and adjust the api calls in mlmym code.
Thank you and @[email protected] for your work!
Hopefully someone will volunteer to make compatible with Lemmy 1.0
Which is basically the same as old.reddit.com . Which is great as far as functionality. Squint and you can imagine it would be perfect. Zoom in and it's decent, except the thumbnails now are even more clearly 4-pixel potatoes. Okay, so where's my FOSS firefox extension that works like RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite)? Or, I actually don't need that, just a FOSS firefox extension that takes any old.lemmy and makes the layout look like the new layout, with toggles to turn off anything in the new layout you don't want (e.g. right side bar)? Or, maybe some custom javascript I can save in greasemonkey to make everything zoom 150% and replaces thumbnails with better compressed versions of their expanded versions (make my own thumbnails)?
pictrs's thumbnail parameter uses dumb raw pixel sampling -- which leaves something to be desired... It has other sampling options implemented (with
resize, according to the docs), but they don't seem to accessible on my instance. You can removethumbnail=96if you want to get the image without that thumbnail sampling, at least.I do this with my browser's UI (ctrl-plus keyboard shortcut in FF-based browsers works for me).
[...document.querySelectorAll(".side")].forEach(sidebar => sidebar.remove())You could also just adblock the element with class
side.Hey, that sounds like a great idea, I bet I could add that to ublock origins. And, yeah, zoom via ctrl plus is what I do (I'm not sure if it is remembered between sessions). As for the side bar, it does not bother me, it was just as an example of what an extension theoretically could do. Honestly, another extension should not be needed. Instead a lemmy /c/ or other repository for user hacks would be nice that you could put into ublock origins or other DOM manipulator. That removing thumbnail sampling looks awesome, will try it out next time I'm on desktop.
