I’m aware of Photon and Alexandrite, but since Alexandrite is now unmaintained, Photon seems to be my only viable option at the moment. I’ve also been searching for an old Reddit–style UI, but so far I haven’t been able to find one that fits the bill.
Does anyone know of any active alternatives, or ways to achieve that classic look with current tools?
Thunder is open source & cross platform. It’s on f-droid if that helps sell it.
I really enjoy Voyager. I have it customized so it looks like the monochrome terminals (like in Fallout).
This! It’s fast. It’s reliable. Love it!
Blorp is the only other one that I like.
Don’t look at what’s in the past. Reddit is disgusting at this point and we should not be trying to clone it. Just like “we” for some reason try to clone Instagram, Xitter, and Facebook instead of drawing inspiration from it, removing the crap, and building new features on top.
AFAIK, Mlmym is the only “old” reddit UI. I’m not sure if it’s still maintained or not but the last commit was sometime last year.
Didn’t know Alexandrite wasn’t maintained anymore. I liked it.
Tesseract is sort-of like “new” reddit circa 2023 but without all the crap. It’s Lemmy only.
Voyager is also pretty popular, but not my cup of tea.
Blorp is I think relatively new but looks really nice. Haven’t played with it much.
I’m a bit lost beyond those, but you can check out https://lemmyapps.com/ for a mostly up to date directory.
I always liked tesseract but had forgotten the name and reinstalled my pc without transferring my browser profile, nice to have it back
I just use jerboa…
There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!
