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

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Thanks for the kind words! @[email protected] 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.

old.lemmy.ca absolutely nails it <3

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

Great job!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks, I'll add this one too!

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When did saying Reddit become the equivalent of saying Voldemort?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Here ya go! https://lemmy.ca/c/outoftheloop EDIT: [email protected]

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 :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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: [email protected]

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!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (9 children)

Why not use m.lemmy.ca instead for Voyager

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?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

...and now it's there with the new update! Nice!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's MLMYM ?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is great! Keep it up!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Done!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Holy crap that was fast!!! And it now has the 'My communities' dropdown, which makes it much better! Thanks!!

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?)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
