A reddit like frontend for lemmy (mlmym.org)

This is the best reddit like frontend I've seen. It's so good it reminds me of how the older days of reddit were like and lemmy feels just like it on some days.

See source if you want to self host it.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I actually kinda like the lemmy-ui basic theme. It feels easier to read and less crowded than the reddit-like one.

The power of open source though: everyone gets to use whatever they like best.

I prefer the information density of old.reddit. The wasted space of the default lemmy UI irks me.

But I am also old and crotchety. If the spread out / modern UI of Lemmy (and squabbles.io and tildes and new.reddit) weren't more desirable, they (probably) wouldn't be coded that way.

I've wondered the came. It's less efficient. I just see wasted space. However the explanation may be simply that less content per page means keeping you on the site longer which equals more ad revenue.

Probably because a lot of people who are attracted to lemmy might have loved the freedom and anonymity that old reddit offered them back then and this interface reminds them of that. I for one have fond memories of how reddit was a decade ago and it's been a while since I've seen a social network like that. Everything these days are so facebook like.

Same, but I'm also in the minority whose ADHD couldn't take the UI of old.reddit. And this is certainly better than new reddit.
