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 2 years 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 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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!

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

When did saying Reddit become the equivalent of saying Voldemort?

[–] villasv@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] zappy@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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 2 years 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: !outoftheloop@lemmy.ca

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

[–] Generator@lemmy.pt 7 points 2 years ago (9 children)

Why not use m.lemmy.ca instead for Voyager

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 2 years ago

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

[–] stormio@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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.

[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (2 children)

What's MLMYM ?

This is great! Keep it up!

[–] AlternateRoute@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years 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.

[–] lemonadebunny@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] apes_on_parade@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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.

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.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Done!

[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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

Thanks so much admins!

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

[–] Comprox@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Loving the old interface, but am a bit confused on how to search for specific communities on it. When I click on 'more', it brings me to search but I can only do generic searches.
ie: I can search for "topic", but I can't search for "topic@community.com" or "c/topic@community.com". Is this possible right now? Thanks!

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It might not be.
