Hello everyone!

I've setup two more public interfaces that you can use to browse lemmy.ca:

https://old.lemmy.ca/ - This runs mlmym to give you an experience closer to that site most of us fled from
https://voyager.lemmy.ca/ - This runs voyager for a more iOS mobile style interface

Enjoy!

This is amazing .... I'm throwing money, coins and credit cards at my screen right now

old.lemmy.ca looks and feels exactly like the old bag of crap website I left a couple of months ago.

DARK MODE ... it even has dark mode! ... keep it up, keep it up!

You guys are amazing and I'm more than happy with the subscribed donation I've given to your instance.

Keep up the great work guys, this is unbelievable!

EDIT: ... I feel like an addict that just got their fix again ... this is amazing ... I'm wiping the powder from my nose and I'm trying to act normal again

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 27 points 11 months ago

Don't thank me so much, it took me 5 minutes to install. The developer deserves all your appreciation since I'm sure it took them way longer.

[-] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Thanks for the kind words! @Shadow@lemmy.ca has been amazing.

You guys are amazing and I’m more than happy with the subscribed donation I’ve given to your instance.

Just so you know with the transition to the new team all prior donation subscriptions have been cancelled and we've yet to set up a new system for donations.

We'll let you all know when we have a new system up and running right now but it's not high priority as we're well funded for at least the next 6 to 9 months if we don't have explosive growth.

I joined recently and tried to find lemmy.ca on Patreon, but couldn't. Will you folks set up your presence there? That's where I support all other Fediverse instances I'm using (plus Lemmy itself), so I'm assuming a lot of fedizens will find it natural to support you there.

[-] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

I'll keep that in mind, and I've just had a realization, we can set up all the donation options and just not "cash out" until we're determined non-profit status and how we're going to set up the financial side of it.

[-] SirAramis@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

I think if you consider Patreon, also do consider OpenCollective as well. I know a lot of people including myself use it quite often.

[-] mp3@lemmy.ca 26 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

old.lemmy.ca absolutely nails it <3

EDIT: Just noticed the upvotes are blue while the downvotes are red, is that the desired result?

[-] Gray@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

I think that's to keep it consistent with the normal Lemmy UI, which also has blue upvotes and red downvotes.

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

It's not something we built, you'll have to check the project site.

[-] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Sweet! I saw a Lemmy.world making these moves and was hoping we would get that here. Y'all read my mind!

Great job!

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 18 points 11 months ago

Feel free to make requests if you see useful things that other instances are doing =)

[-] mintiefresh@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Just saw the folks at lemdro.id add both voyager and Photon as options for their front end.

https://nu.lemdro.id/

This is the link to their photon. Looks pretty cool. Feels really fast.

I saw it all from this post: https://lemdro.id/post/171020

Anyhow, I also like Voyager. Just thought I'd let you know what they were up to over there.

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

This container currently needs to be run as root, which I'm unwilling to do. I'll see if I can patch it this weekend and submit a PR to fix it upstream.

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks, I'll add this one too!

That's really awesome. The old.lemmy.ca looks surprisingly like old that-other-place.

[-] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago

When did saying Reddit become the equivalent of saying Voldemort?

[-] villasv@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

Recently, but it's mostly just for kicks. Don't take it too seriously.

[-] ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yep! I try to call it: “the old site” or “the site that shall not be named”

[-] zappy@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Looks like it's time to get out of the loop up and running again

[-] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Here ya go! https://lemmy.ca/c/outoftheloop EDIT: !outoftheloop@lemmy.ca

There are some on the other instances, but none of them appear to have any postings... the lemmy-verse will decide, in Darwinian fashion, which becomes the 'outoftheloop'.

Post on there and I'll make you a mod if you like :)

[-] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 2 points 11 months ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !outoftheloop@lemmy.ca

old.lemmy.ca rocks! Thanks!

Thank you! You've read my mind. When I saw old.lemmy.world, I was going to request it... But here it is. Awesome!

[-] stormio@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

This is awesome! Is there any way to share the login information between the different user interfaces? In other words, can you make it so that we don't have to re-login on each interface?

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 months ago

No, each is completely isolated from each other. They'd all have to support some shared SSO, which I can't see anyone bothering to write TBH.

[-] durablenapkin@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

Thank you! old.lemmy.ca is gorgeous, it even has dark mode, endless scrolling and auto-load (which brings over some Reddit Enhancement Suite functionality)

[-] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

I'm sure they'll bring more features to it soon, and their GitHub should allow you to make feature requests!

[-] Generator@lemmy.pt 7 points 11 months ago

Why not use m.lemmy.ca instead for Voyager

Now I just need a subscribed community dropdown list like I had with RES

MLMYM is a huge benefit for Lemmy. While I'm not one, there are a whole lot of people used to the old reddit interface who will feel at home. It's just like the diggit interface from years ago.

[-] Smk@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

What's MLMYM ?

[-] AlternateRoute@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Nice, I’ll have to check that out on desktop .

Not really happy with both of those on mobile but memmy fills that gap.

[-] _spiffy@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

This is great! Keep it up!

[-] lemonadebunny@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Holy shit! Thank you so much! You're the best!

[-] apes_on_parade@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 2 points 11 months ago

Hey! I run a lemmy instance as well and some of our users are asking for the old interface.

Did you deploy mlmym onto the same server as your main lemmy instance, and if so any chance you could share how you adapted your docker and nginx configs? (Assuming you initially had a setup like the one provided by the official lemmy ansible script?)

[-] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Just add it to your docker-compose file, then create a new /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ vhost that points to the port you expose from docker.

Thanks so much admins!

We really appreciate this server, and all you do for it.

[-] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

The latest version of mlmym includes the subscribed commuunities dropdown in the top bar. Can mlmym be updated to this version, please? The lack of access to one's subscribed communities makes it borderline unusable atm despite how much I like it.
