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.
Thanks for the kind words! @Shadow@lemmy.ca has been amazing.

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.
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.
I think if you consider Patreon, also do consider OpenCollective as well. I know a lot of people including myself use it quite often.
old.lemmy.ca absolutely nails it <3
EDIT: Just noticed the upvotes are blue while the downvotes are red, is that the desired result?
I think that’s to keep it consistent with the normal Lemmy UI, which also has blue upvotes and red downvotes.
It’s not something we built, you’ll have to check the project site.
Sweet! I saw a Lemmy.world making these moves and was hoping we would get that here. Y’all read my mind!
Great job!
Feel free to make requests if you see useful things that other instances are doing =)
Just saw the folks at lemdro.id add both voyager and Photon as options for their front end.
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.
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.
Thanks, I’ll add this one too!
There’s also Alexandrite (details on the lemdro.id frontends here): https://lemdro.id/post/148148
Personally I’m not using Photon or Alexandrite, but it might be nice to have?
That’s really awesome. The old.lemmy.ca looks surprisingly like old that-other-place.
When did saying Reddit become the equivalent of saying Voldemort?
Recently, but it’s mostly just for kicks. Don’t take it too seriously.
Yep! I try to call it: “the old site” or “the site that shall not be named”
Looks like it’s time to get out of the loop up and running again
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 :)
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
Good bot
old.lemmy.ca rocks! Thanks!
oh wow that’s cool. I agree with this.
Thank you! You’ve read my mind. When I saw old.lemmy.world, I was going to request it… But here it is. Awesome!
Why not use m.lemmy.ca instead for Voyager
Voyager is really only suitable for iOS
I’m curious why you say that. Seems to work fine on Android in browser.
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.
Under Settings > Appearance, there’s an option to set the UI style to Android, which is currently in beta but it’s a start
Good to know! Ty
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.
Could Photon be another one? It looks pretty nice, lemodroid added it alongside these two
Edit: Oh looks like someone already mentioned it further down
Agreed. I personally think it’s ugly, there’s a reason I don’t own an iPhone
It’s also a Star Trek title
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)
I’m sure they’ll bring more features to it soon, and their GitHub should allow you to make feature requests!
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?
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.
Now I just need a subscribed community dropdown list like I had with RES
…and now it’s there with the new update! Nice!
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.
What’s MLMYM ?
The old interface
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?
This is great! Keep it up!
Nice, I’ll have to check that out on desktop .
Not really happy with both of those on mobile but memmy fills that gap.
Holy shit! Thank you so much! You’re the best!
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?)
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.
heh, thanks for your confidence in my abilities! We’ll see…
