Why YSK: Because some people may want to use old reddit’s interface and might be used to it’s look. To choose the instance, put a /[instance name] after that url, or use the option given by the site itself
edit: apparently the original site where this came from is https://mlmym.org/ and this is the github repository https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
Whilst it’s not as good a conversion as the one you posted, there’s a violentmonkey script that does a pretty good job too

Cool.
Alternatively you can install this userscript which, among other things, also changes Lemmy’s UI to something akin to old.reddit
Head over here for a bunch of new features:
How safe is it to log in to a lemmy instance through this? Seems like it could easily be used for phishing.
Right, I tried logging in and got a cloudflare error page.
I changed my password just in case.
And it only works with Lemmy.
As opposed to…?
Kbin
…oh. forgot about that. thanks!
