Yeah I wanted to love mlmym but it’s just too buggy and laggy for me. Hopefully lemmy-ui-next will prove to be a good replacement. If anyone’s curious, that UI can previewed at: next.lemm.ee
Comment on what lemmy web app do you use and why?

Right now I’m mostly using mlmym (the “old” interface on most instances that support it) because it doesn’t require JS for basic viewing.
It’s kind of buggy though, unfortunately – things like user history show up as a complete jumble, for example. :(
One of these days, I’ll probably get fed up enough to go write my own interface and set things up exactly how I want them to work… but I’ve got too many projects already so I’m just living with it for now.

I haven’t had much issue with lag, generally, but I don’t get notifications any more – which is probably the most pressing issue. (I have to remember to manually check once in a while after I post since the envelope doesn’t light up.) That might be an issue with reddthat being on a recent beta version of lemmy – I don’t know.
We do have lemmy-ui-next over here too. Thanks for reminding me about that. I’ve been meaning to poke at it a bit.

The envelope not lighting up bug was fixed in mlmym version 0.0.43

That’s great to hear!

Do you have any examples of the user history being jumbled up? Might be caused by the way the lemmy api returns user activity. If the page size is 10 results, it’s going to return 5 comments and 5 posts regardless of how recent they are.

You can open any profile with multiple pages worth of posts or comments on old.reddthat.com and it’s jumbled. Even my own profile is jumbled: old.reddthat.com/u/e0qdk
The first page is mostly comments I made two weeks ago plus a thread from today and some very old threads. The second page has comments I made earlier today and during the past week. The third page starts with my most recent comment and then has a bunch of older comments.
The exact order might change after posting this, but my own recent comments mostly being on page two has been pretty consistent for a while.
If I look at a very active user’s profile (like MentalEdge’s), I see threads from today show up on page three(!) while there are threads from a week or more ago on pages one and two.
I’m not sure what’s going on exactly, but it basically makes user profiles pretty useless right now through mlmym.

Looks right here old.lemmy.world/u/e0qdk@reddthat.com
looks like the default sort for the user history api changed in whatever version of lemmy reddthat is running. Fix in the latest mlmym release 0.0.44 accounts for that now!

Thanks! I’ll go ask Tiff about getting reddthat updated later.
BTW, is there a community for discussion of mlmym itself somewhere on lemmy? I can’t participate on GitHub, but those aren’t the only issues I’ve found. (e.g. there’s also
?format=jpg&thumbnail=96on non-pictrs links and a text handling issue with angle brackets…)
