Interesting. While the FHF hasn’t updated mlmym (the software running on old.lemmy.world) in quite a while, there isn’t really any reason for it to have completely broken either. Can you maybe share in what way? Like, does it not load at all anymore, or is it individual features that have stopped working?

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.

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).

There are browser addons you can use to change the styling on individual sites, like Stylus for Firefox. They require some knowledge of CSS though.

For example, to change the font of the comment input field to your browser’s default sans-serif font:

@-moz-document domain("old.lemmy.world") {
  .savecomment textarea {
    font-family: sans-serif;
  }
}

The FHF fork hasn’t been updated in a while. I hate to do self-promotion, but I have my own fork of mlmym (based on the FHF version) you can use if you want, which has quite a few bugs fixed and some new features.

There’s also another fork (based on my version) now, which is running on old.lemmy.zip.

Oh, that’s a client that works directly in emacs, I wasn’t aware something like that existed! Thank you for sharing. I had assumed you were simply using a web interface in eww.

What are you using for that? old.lemmy.zip? I would’ve thought that wouldn’t work since it’s behind cloudflare, but I just tried it and it does. Interesting.
