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;
  }
}

edit: I totally missed that there was already a comment explaining pretty much the exact same thing. Whoops

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.
