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