I noticed that lemmy.world and slrpnk.net host old.lemmy.world and old.slrpnk.net and I was wondering if there was any interest in doing that here. Personally, I think it meshes with the SDF vibe.
Edit: this would be in addition to regular Lemmy
Edit 2: it looks like they added it at old.lemmy.sdf.org. Thank you @[email protected]!
This is what it would look like:
Doesn’t look functionally that different, really, just more Reddit-y. The default Lemmy client has none of the new Reddit bloat to start with.
It does seem a little faster… not that that would be the main reason to host it (and to clarify, I wasn’t suggesting getting rid of the default by any means). It just seems like something interesting and slightly retro and I thought people on here might be interested in it.
Standard Lemmy is actually faster than Old Reddit. See my comparison here.
And old the Lemmy frontpage is even faster than Lemmy.
I would be interested in seeing that between lemmy.world and old.lemmy.world. Again, speed wasn’t the reason why I mentioned it, I just thought it looked cool and was wondering if people would be interested.
Edit: see here for my comparison of Lemmy UI vs MLMYM. In short, old is faster with Lemmy.
