For me the biggest advantage of old UI on Reddit was with what RES could provide in terms of keyboard shortcuts etc. Since this doesn't seem to have that, for me I don't see a whole lot of value.

I just came here to say it wasn't working, but looks like it got switched off a few days back.
I really like the old.reddit layout, so I'd be a huge fan if it was able to be used here too. No biggie if it cant, standard Lamington is pretty uncluttered anyway. Just not very compact. Whats with web devs and whitespace? I'm here to see content, not empty pixels.

Old is always nice, but indeed the dev doesn't seem active anymore
It's nice to have access to a compact layout. The in-built Lemmy compact themes are ineffective, as far as I can tell.
I like it,but am scared to use it if it might be taken away
