      Unfortunately with Lemmy 1.0 MLMYM (the software used to provide this UI) will have to be shutdown, unless the MLMYM dev re-appears or someone forks and maintains it.

        someone forks and maintains it.

        MrKaplan already forked it and is keeping it on life support for lemmy.world. I’ve been trying to make enough sense of it to fix several issues that have been bugging me for a while, and will contribute my fixes there if I can figure them out.

        I’ve only got a few hours each weekend where I have good concentration + enough free time to work on it, and don’t know the relevant languages (Go, Rust, TypeScript), so my progress is pretty slow… but I’m still poking at it.

        Hopefully someone will volunteer to make compatible with Lemmy 1.0

    Which is basically the same as old.reddit.com . Which is great as far as functionality. Squint and you can imagine it would be perfect. Zoom in and it’s decent, except the thumbnails now are even more clearly 4-pixel potatoes. Okay, so where’s my FOSS firefox extension that works like RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite)? Or, I actually don’t need that, just a FOSS firefox extension that takes any old.lemmy and makes the layout look like the new layout, with toggles to turn off anything in the new layout you don’t want (e.g. right side bar)? Or, maybe some custom javascript I can save in greasemonkey to make everything zoom 150% and replaces thumbnails with better compressed versions of their expanded versions (make my own thumbnails)?

      the thumbnails now are even more clearly 4-pixel potatoes

      pictrs’s thumbnail parameter uses dumb raw pixel sampling – which leaves something to be desired… It has other sampling options implemented (with resize, according to the docs), but they don’t seem to accessible on my instance. You can remove thumbnail=96 if you want to get the image without that thumbnail sampling, at least.

      make everything zoom 150%

      I do this with my browser’s UI (ctrl-plus keyboard shortcut in FF-based browsers works for me).

      e.g. right side bar

      […document.querySelectorAll(“.side”)].forEach(sidebar => sidebar.remove())

      You could also just adblock the element with class side.

        remove thumbnail=96 Hey, that sounds like a great idea, I bet I could add that to ublock origins. And, yeah, zoom via ctrl plus is what I do (I’m not sure if it is remembered between sessions). As for the side bar, it does not bother me, it was just as an example of what an extension theoretically could do. Honestly, another extension should not be needed. Instead a lemmy /c/ or other repository for user hacks would be nice that you could put into ublock origins or other DOM manipulator. That removing thumbnail sampling looks awesome, will try it out next time I’m on desktop.
