I’ve been really enjoying browsing Wikipedia and duckduckgo on Links2 lately which loads raw html rapidly with little overhead. It’s also good for reading the Marxist Internet Archive. I’m looking to expand it’s functionality more
I went down this rabbit hole.
The only way I could make it work was using the alternative frontend for my instance: old.feddit.org
There, log in was possible without issues. But I don’t know if lemmy.ml has alternative frontends.I had tried all CLI browsers, browsh, and Neon Modem Overdrive. (which seemed to work for people on other instances, but not on feddit.org . Edit: The issue I was having with it seems to be fixed now.)
I’m new to the fediverse. Will old.feddit.org work with the same login credentials?
you can just compile and connect to mlmym locally on your machine, it’s a tiny go-based program with a webserver in it
It’s a different UI for feddit.org, so it works with feddit.org accounts. The UI is mlmym. You should be able to self-host it, and use it with a Lemmy instance of your choice.
no, user data is not federated accross instances.
No, not with yours from lemmy.ml .
Are you on a tablet or phone?
Chroot Debian on my Redmi Note 11s running LineageOS. I built a USB keyboard case for it almost 2 years ago and have been daily driving it as a palmtop ever since.
Unrelated, but can you tell me how you set up your Mac OS 8 Platinum theme?
That looks like the Platinum9 theme for XFCE. Setup for it are basically the normal steps to getting Window Decorations installed for XFCE (here), but in general it’s just:
$ git clone https://github.com/grassmunk/Platinum9 ~/.themes/Platinum9Then set the Window Decoration theme using xfce4 settings
Thats awesome.
Btw piefed has “low bandwidth mode” that works well with links2. I wonder if old.lemmy would work well with links2?
So far none of these domains work, even in firefox
