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 @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org!
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.
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.
And old the Lemmy frontpage is even faster than Lemmy.
