When they close old.reddit will be the best time to advertise the lemmy instances that use that similar looking theme by default
It's the mlmym frontend, rather than just a theme.
Some instances run it locally as an alternate at a different URL; lemmy.world is one such.
Keep in mind that rystaf/mlmym has been last updated years ago. old.lemmy.world uses the FHF's fork, which has had a few fixes made to it.
self promotion
I actually have a fork of that fork at mschae23/mlmym which is significantly different (in terms of new features and bugfixes) from the others by now. In fact, this is what's deployed by your instance at old.lemmy.today :)Though it unfortunately seems to be having issues with rate limits at the moment.
If only they'd integrate the RES features
Man for real, what I would give for a RES "show images" button to expand all images on the page....
In listings? mlmym already has that. I see the button also exists on comment pages on reddit, but that'd be less useful on lemmy where inline images are already expanded by default.
I'm not familiar with what this is, but on desktop going to my instance, lemmy.zip to login definitely does not give me an option to expand all images when looking at the front page or any community page.
If you mean in the comments on a post page, yes those are expanded, but I mean without having to open the post.
mlmym is the old-reddit-like frontend discussed in this thread.
If you open https://old.lemmy.zip/, there is a “show images” button next to the nav links for the different sort orders. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually work there because lemmy.zip has the image proxy enabled, which the old version of mlmym they're running does not support.
Wow, I only knew of the
p.subdomain, haha. This is great, thanks! That's hilarious that they copied the same subdomain, even... I wonder how to tell if an instance supports it apart from just blindly trying.I love how the GitHub entry just calls it "a familiar desktop experience" and nothing more. Perfect. 👌🏻
They don't have to stick it at the same prefix, so there's no reliable way to check by just guessing the name.
It looks like p.lemmy.world is running the Photon frontend. On lemmy.today, we have it at photon.lemmy.today.
Lemmy.today lists the alternate frontends in the instance sidebar, but there's no requirement for an instance to do that.
this is the first steps to require facial recognition and ID down the line, much like FB does.
No, the first step was all the governments literally forcing them and all the other big social media sites through legislation to add age verification. It makes it much easier to throw people in jail for online wrong-think if they have to verify who they are.
I haven’t touched reddit in years, and I have no sympathy for anyone still using that garbage site, so doesn’t bother me that they’re getting rid of the only good way to view it on a desktop. It won’t change anything, most reddit traffic is through the apps.
