I know lemmy world does here old.lemmy.world but it is down right now and has been spotty for a while. This is 100% my preferred way to use lemmy while I am on my desktop.

Any one know if any other instances set up this UI?

I prefer alexandrite so I set my preference a long time ago and therefore may be wrong, but I think lemmy.blahaj.zone has it

Lemmy.ca

my instance doesn't and it makes me sad

Oh how cute I wonder if it works with piefed

Yeah what's up with it being down all the time? Is it only the old UI or is it the entire instance?

its just the old UI, if you remove old. and go straight to lemmy.world the instance is fine.

my main is on db0 and I want them to set it up so bad 😭😭

Lemmy.today runs it at https://old.lemmy.today/

I do kind of wish that there were a standard way for instances to advertise alternate Web UIs and their location.

I don't think that they have to run it locally, as long as you're willing to run it yourself.

The alternate UIs, as I understand it, don't normally rely on privileged access to the instance. They just use the public API. They're basically just a Web-based client.

Yeah, looks like you set the LEMMY_DOMAIN environment variable to the instance in question and spin up a Docker container. If you can handle Docker, you should be good.

EDIT: I understand that there are some unmaintained mlmym forks, so if you do want to run it locally, I'd maybe check with an admin of an instance that runs it to see what fork to use.

We used to run mlmym but it was starting to cause issues when it became unmaintained.

We've got it over here on reddthat.

Dang, but I get it. Its probably the same issue lemmy world is having with it now. I am trying out alexandrite, see if that will be my new home UI

MrKaplan forked it for Lemmy World -- https://github.com/Fedihosting-Foundation-Forks/mlmym

I tried taking a stab at adding some fixes to that version, but didn't get very far. I've got some notes about issues I was looking at posted in the tracker there though if anyone wants to pick it up again.

It's been pretty stable over at old.lemmy.zip!

I was thinking of spinning up just a vanity instance for me, if I do that I might try to get that UI working. But also I am lazy and have a WIP list a mile long so who knows if this will actually become reality.

Glad its been stable! We use our own custom fork with loads of enhancements for stability :D

Lemmy.nz has it too, at https://old.lemmy.nz

It's worth noting the original is unmaintained so not all instances will be the same. Lemmy.world maintains their own fork: https://github.com/Fedihosting-Foundation-Forks/mlmym

Mine does on tor only.

Not my instance (I'm posting from PieFed lol), but I noticed that lemmy.blahaj.zone has five UIs, including mlmym, set up.

Finally someone hosting Lemmy over Tor! I need to know more

I don't know the details, buy I think it's only the UI that's on tor. Federation still happens over the regular internet, but that shouldn't matter much to you as a user.

Fine by me! I don't think there are many other places on Lemmy accessible specifically through the Tor network anyway, so it's to be expected.

Some of those issues have already been fixed in my fork of mlmym :)

• federated image_proxy image posts
• AVIF images

The others haven't, unfortunately. In regards to the paginating issue on comments, I've already made improvements to that, but the underlying issue is due to the way lemmy's comments API works and not easily fixable without introducing a lot more API requests per page view (see #36).

Great! Any chance you can upstream the fixes to the GitHub version? If not, I'll try to take a look later in the week and see if I can pull those bits back out myself.

I have suggested that they pull my changes to their version, but they are understandably very busy and didn't have the time to review it, so that unfortunately didn't happen. Many instances have simply switched the version they are running instead.

see if I can pull those bits back out myself.

Might as well just use my version directly :)
It also comes with a bunch of other improvements, bug fixes, and a few new features.
