Are there any plans to add keyboard navigation like old.reddit.com + RES?

[–] 3v1n0@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago

I hope so, I'd suggest to open an issue in github

Omfg! This is the best thing to happen to fediverse for people like me who were addicted to old.reddit

Works pretty well, too. It kinda messes with my head. I entered the instance, and thought for a second I just got redirected to reddit somehow.

this made me realize one of the things I like about the old design is how many posts you can see at a glance.

@liaizon @lemmy was wondering who's the author 🤔 found the repo here https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

@liaizon @lemmy that’s pretty cool!

Oh wow, this is epic. And a mindfuck. I love it!

My god, what a weird experience that was.

I’ve been using old.reddit over the last couple of days to manage my bot as it shreds my old account histories, so to look at that interface without feeling sad is very unnerving.

Can someone please eli5 why so many people are obsessed with the old reddit look and feel? It looks awful and very uncomfortable to use

It was ugly but functional (well, functional with the RES browser plugin, I mean).

I have yet to see a desktop Lemmy UI that uses the full width of my browser window. That alone makes them very annoying to use.

I've been using this script to make things significantly better on the default Lemmy UI.
