Like many of you I'm here because I'm done with reddit. I'm just getting started here and I found a front end for Lemmy that provides the old reddit interface. I like the lemmy.world interface just fine, but old habits are hard to break. I think using Lemmy with this front end will help me spend more time here because of the familiarity.

if you have friends that are having a hard time transitioning over, maybe recommend http://mlmym.org to them.

Here’s the source code for anyone interested: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

Hopefully someone puts together a guide for easily setting it up on your own server so we can run our own instance on a subdomain.

Is the login secure? not entirely sure how it's working.

Login doesn't carry over so it makes me wonder too - if this isn't a hosted instance but you're actually logging into your home instance and this is just an overlay reading your home instance's data - then why would the overlay require you to login?

If you don't login you wouldn't be able to see your subscribed communities or reply and etc

there is a way to run it locally using docker it shows on the github repository

Needs another one that is new reddit, and a browser extension variation.

This was something that Digg users also used for a while when making the transition between digg and reddit, they hated reddit's UI and used an extension to make it look more like digg.

These things are legitimately very useful in getting people to migrate.

Hey uh weren’t you on there modding a bunch of leftist subs?

Yes, libs hated me and said all sorts. Still do mod although not on this username as it got banned for sending someone pigpoopballs and then appealing with the appeal "it's a pig with poop on its balls".

This is awesome, thanks for sharing the link.

Holy cow this is epic and deserves more attention. It's literally like Reddit. If anyone's wondering. This is not only to be used to view specific pages in Reddit format. Just enter the Lemmy server you are a member of, in my case I just typed "lemmy.world", once done you can log into your account and enjoy happy scrolling á la Reddit style.

I know you've already done a ton of hard work on this, but are there any plans to try to integrate kbin?

Like, I can view my kbin communities anyway, but I can't moderate one from mlmym/lemmy.blahaj, for example.

If not, no biggie. Really like the interface for now.

Thank you so much for sharing! The only thing that still confuses me is upvoting. I thought Lemmy was still doing upvotes but I can't see where to do so on this interface.

If anyone else is confused, you just have to log in again using the interface. Figured I'd leave this up for others who might be confused 😂

It’s possible to add multiple lemmy accounts ?

Need this, especially the in-line image expansion, for kbin STAT
