This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!

    Very spot-on. I was expecting a regular HTML-based page but this just looks identical to old.reddit. I'm very impressed.

    Holy christ, there's no going back now, lol. This is BEAUTIFUL.

    Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?

    Perfect. Now all I need is a Reddit Lemmy Enhancement Suite.

    I had also been using Reddit for over a decade. I'm only now realising how early I got on Reddit's boat. Was mostly just a lurker but, apart from WhatsApp, the only social media, and main news source (tad cringe, yea). Your comment hist made me think where is the /c/atheism around here. PS: I keep coming here almost everyday. If you ever feel you need to reach out to a stranger, likely across the world, drop me a DM.

    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?

    While I don't really care about old Reddit style, it's amazing that you guys made it an option for people used to it. Based!

    I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between β€œpeople who preferred old.reddit.com” and β€œpeople who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.

    Most excellent.

    Are we under any impression that this will have long-term support? Or just a novelty to enjoy while it's here?

    now that's how a community is supposed to be run

    good webdev

    pat pat

    edit: @nnrx@sh.itjust.works you know, if you really wanted to knock this out of the park... why not add in some features from Reddit Enhancement Suite? I dunno if anyone will ever consider porting RES over to Lemmy, but there were a lot of nice things like drag to zoom that I'll miss. if those features were implemented natively without needing an addon, that'd be super neat.

    I feel upset with how bad I want this for every instance. I know that change can be good but I want my old creature comforts of when I was 19 and learning about the front page of the internet, chuck testa and maymays

    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 overβ€”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

    Whoa, this is a trip. It'd be cool to possibly get an option in our settings to automatically redirect to old.lemmy.world

    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!

    I feel a calming warmth, like a nice long hug from a warm grandma. An oh so familiar smell, something I slightly remember from my youth, but new, refreshing, like a cool mist from the ocean lightly hitting your face as watch a new day rise. I am home.

    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.
