Add Support for mlmym on programming.dev (programming.dev)

Hey there,

I was using https://mlmym.org/programming.dev/ to browse programming.dev because I don't really like the default Lemmy UI. However, as of today https://mlmym.org just redirects to this gist: https://gist.github.com/rystaf/4d591ffdcbaab1c49efa406885efd814.

When checking both https://old.lemmy.world and https://lemmy.world - they both resolve to the same IPs - So it seems like the intended use for this UI is not use it though https://mlmym.org anymore, but for the instances to host it themselves under the ".old." subdomain. In a similar way reddit is doing.

As for how it would look, have a look at https://old.lemmy.world - and probably enable dark mode in the settings.

Was hoping programming.dev would consider supporting this UI as well, under old.programming.dev - It makes the transition from Reddit to Lemmy a lot easier

You can find the repo of it over here: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

snowe was running into issues before getting other frontends to run but if that gets sorted out we can look into adding some alternative frontends (and we'll have to sort it out eventually to get a beta version of pangora up before it becomes the default UI)

Oh that's a shame. .ml doesn't have it so I always browsed via mlmym. Do you know why they deleted it?

[–] RonSijm@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I don't know, I've asked in an issue of their repo: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/77 - they might clarify why they removed it.

Apparently some of the links in the gist file are mirrors: https://o.opnxng.com/ and https://lemmy.bolha.one

The downside of these local mirrors is probably that the auth credentials are POSTed to those sites - apparently due to limitations or Lemmy. But so it would be better instances hosted their own versions

I would back this request. I'd also like to see support for some of the other frontend options, such as Photon.

The way Lemdro.id does it is great:

Lemdro.id Interfaces

lemdro.id powered by Lemmy-UI. m.lemdro.id web app powered by Voyager
old.lemdro.id powered by mlmym
p.lemdro.id powered by Photon
a.lemdro.id powered by Alexandrite
