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.

[–] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 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.

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year 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 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 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!

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] Knightfall@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When did saying Reddit become the equivalent of saying Voldemort?

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

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

[–] ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 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”

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

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

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

[–] Borgzilla@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

old.lemmy.ca rocks! Thanks!

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

oh wow that's cool. I agree with this.

[–] Mereo@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] durablenapkin@lemmy.ca 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)

[–] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 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!

[–] stormio@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year 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 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.

[–] Generator@lemmy.pt 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why not use m.lemmy.ca instead for Voyager

[–] sam@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Voyager is really only suitable for iOS

[–] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm curious why you say that. Seems to work fine on Android in browser.

[–] sam@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It works fine, but it's very obviously designed with iOS in mind. Aesthetically it doesn't fit with the rest of my UI.

It's not a massive complaint, but I'd hope "m.lemmy.ca" would be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

[–] mitchell@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Under Settings > Appearance, there’s an option to set the UI style to Android, which is currently in beta but it’s a start

[–] sam@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Good to know! Ty

[–] TruckBC@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s not a massive complaint, but I’d hope “m.lemmy.ca” would be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

Yup. I get what you're saying now. It doesn't fit indeed. And yes m.lemmy.ca will be reserved for something more OS agnostic.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Could Photon be another one? It looks pretty nice, lemodroid added it alongside these two

https://lemdro.id/post/171020

Edit: Oh looks like someone already mentioned it further down

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Agreed. I personally think it's ugly, there's a reason I don't own an iPhone

[–] Smk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

It's also a Star Trek title

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 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.

[–] Smk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's MLMYM ?

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It's a piece of software that creates an old-reddit-like interface for Lemmy. If you're asking what it stands for, I have no idea, "Make Lemmy More something something?" if I had to guess?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

The old interface

[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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 1 year ago

This is great! Keep it up!

[–] lemonadebunny@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ArmorPlate23@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks so much admins!

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

[–] apes_on_parade@lemmy.whynotdrs.org 2 points 1 year 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 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.

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 1 year ago (2 children)

Done!

[–] Zamboniman@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

Very cool! Is there a way to add the "old" UI to the user settings alongside litely, darkly etc?
