I’ve spun this up for fun, to see how it compares to the base lemmy UI. Give it a whirl, and post any feedback in this thread. Enjoy!
For me the biggest advantage of old UI on Reddit was with what RES could provide in terms of keyboard shortcuts etc. Since this doesn’t seem to have that, for me I don’t see a whole lot of value.
I like it,but am scared to use it if it might be taken away
It’s just a UI, all the content itself is in the same backend. It’s very light weight to host, so I’d only shut it down if it has issues… eg security or interop with future Lemmy versions.
Speaking of security,.an abandoned app is a prime candidate for capturing user/password…
Old is always nice, but indeed the dev doesn’t seem active anymore

It’s nice to have access to a compact layout. The in-built Lemmy compact themes are ineffective, as far as I can tell.
