Playing devils advocate. Lemmy isn't reddit and the only reason people used old reddit was because new reddit was unusable to them.

As with new context and new front ends that Lemmy has, no one with the technical skills seems to care about this enough and blaming Lemmy Devs for not tiptoeing around unmaintained software so development grinds to a halt isn't fair. It's like saying "they don't want to support it, and I don't, but you shouldn't spend your free time doing so".

The comment in the OP shows that at least one person cares.

Mlmym also has the "show images" button that the default Web UI doesn't

no one with the technical skills seems to care about this enough

That's what this post is trying to solve

blaming Lemmy Devs for not tiptoeing around unmaintained software so development grinds to a halt isn’t fair.

I'm not blaming the Lemmy devs (I should rephrase if the post comes as such), the goal of this post was mainly to find someone interested in keeping mlmym up-to-date, not to blame anyone

New lemmy isn't nearly as bad as new reddit, but I still prefer old because it's more compact. The formatting on new vs old displays 7 vs 12 posts on one screen, which feels like a lot of wasted space. I know, first world problems and all that

If “because new reddit was unusable to them” is a polite way of saying “because new reddit is a bloated, buggy, and worthless coding disaster” then I agree completely.
