mlmym VS awesome-lemmy-instances

For now.

Reddit's currently working on a UI/UX update for moderators on new.reddit (or newnew reddit as I like to call it since it's technically a second redesign) with an ETA of early 2024 [1]. According to them last year, 4% of users use old.reddit but carry out 60% of all moderating actions [2].

My guess is once that rolls out, they'll be ready to retire old.reddit.

The UI will live on though. There's mlmym [3] that allows you to use the interface on Lemmy. The instance of Lemmy I use has it on https://old.lemmy.world

There have been a number of posts here previously pointing out the mlmym github project and the associated mlmym.org demo site. Unfortunately many people seemed to gloss over the fact that the latter was a demo site, i.e. not meant to be permanent. As of this morning it appears the demo has run its course, and the site now redirects to a github project file listing several Lemmy instances that are running mlmym themselves. Most of these are "single instance" and only work for the Lemmy instance that hosts them, e.g. old.lemmy.sdf.org works for the lemmy.sdf.org instance and only that instance. If you're on one of those instances then your best bet is to use their built-in version of mlmym.

The funny thing about the "good" ways of accessing reddit have already been "ported" to lemmy.

All Lemmy instances "support" this interface. It's just that lemmyonline is hosting a fork of Mlmym.

It works with any other instance, if anyone's wondering. Go to https://mlmym.org/, type the name of your instance and it'll work a treat.

A familiar Reddit-like desktop experience for lemmy (Github, Web App).

I tried join-lemmy.org, but it's just an unordered list of random servers. This repo, linked there, hasn't had a commit in three weeks, which, given the recent attempt at an exodus, presumably dates it severely. This site, which the first site links, is just outright dead, and doesn't work. The last site they link is a D3 visualization that doesn't work too well - it's very cluttered, and instances constantly fall of the screen, with no scrolling capability - nearly unreadable.

Here you'll get a quick explanation of some of the features different instances can enable and a list of which instances have what https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances among other places has some comparisons

Your best bet is to join a Lemmy instance with a name you like, really. Check this list of instances. If I were you I'd pick one with a good uptime, but not World or ShitJustWorks, nor Beehaw.

I don't understand the relevance of github here either. Pick an instance from https://join-lemmy.org/ or pick one from https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances like I did. Heads up that the latter hasn't been updated in a while. Go through the sign up process on that instance. Use a valid email address when signing up. Check your spam folder for a confirmation email. Good luck, let us know if you have any other questions.
