Coming off years of old.reddit.com, Lemmy felt like major bloat :) I'm used to it now though, definitely nothing compared to regular Reddit.
And, yeah, the jank is 💗
Just a heads up, https://old.Lemmy.world now exists! (It should feel much better!)
Also, if you used Apollo for Reddit, Voyager (https://vger.app) exists for Lemmy and it feels right at home!
There's also a Voyager frontend hosted on lemmy.world:
m.lemmy.world
Also for Apollo users, the Memmy app is very close!
There is also Arctic by CreatureSurvive being worked on which looks promising. I just want my Apollo experience again. 😭
Old Lemmy is the best thing I've seen in a while. I found it last week, and it's absolutely cured my Reddit cravings.
Also for Apollo users… wefwef. I added the web app to my Home Screen and it feels like nothings changed.
Wefwef and Voyager are the same app, they renamed it.
Oh yeh! And now you mention it, I remember that naming conversation. Well now I feel silly.
*cough* https://mlmym.org *cough*
Pretty cool, but I assume I wouldn't be able to get my Subscribed RSS feed to work over there? There's a login that ask for my username and password :/ No chance I'm actually trying that, does that actually work? I'm on SDFs lemmy, is it asking for those credentials? And, if so, who in the world thought that was a good idea in 2023?
There are plenty of userstyles and userscripts inspired by old reddit If you don't want to use mlmym. See !plugins@sh.itjust.works
shitjustworks seems like one of the few really good instances.
