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.
Lmao 💀
How do I gild this comment?

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.
This is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!
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.
Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.
Wow, i hate to admit it but i really missed this, it is awesome thanks so much.
holy fuck it’s like i never left
“I’ve only had old.lemmy for an hour, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.”
Yes! Thank you @ruud@lemmy.world ❤️
Until now I hadn’t realized how disoriented I was still feeling on Lemmy just because I was so used to the old.reddit interface. This is brilliant. Thank you so much.
I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between “people who preferred old.reddit.com” and “people who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.

Holy christ, there’s no going back now, lol. This is BEAUTIFUL.
Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?
Ask in their GitHub repo.
Actually, I see it in the options 😃
Endless Scrolling + Auto Load More
I love you
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!
