There have been a few versions released the last few hours so I will just post a link to the general release notes https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/releasesThese are the changes added since the last version (v0.0.15) we were running:

This is like a serial killer wearing their victim’s face. Good job!
How do I gild this comment?
Lmao 💀
Very spot-on. I was expecting a regular HTML-based page but this just looks identical to old.reddit. I’m very impressed.
I believe Reddit’s code was open sourced for a period of time, maybe that’s this looks identical.

What here mlmym stands for?

I bet there’s a pretty good overlap between “people who preferred old.reddit.com” and “people who left Reddit in disgust.” Thank you.
I feel upset with how bad I want this for every instance. I know that change can be good but I want my old creature comforts of when I was 19 and learning about the front page of the internet, chuck testa and maymays
This is actually amazing. I’m starting to love Lemmy, the content and comments are feeling like my first days on reddit, but cleaner and it has that good free/open source feeling. I’m gradually visiting Lemmy more each day. Once a RES-like extension comes out, I’ll be full time here.
Edit: it even has dark mode and endless scrolling. Unbelievable.
Hope there are extensions called Lemmy Enhancement Suite.
This is a thing of true beauty. Behold the real power of an open platform. Lemmy really is going from strength to strength!
Ooh! Old Reddit style. Noice!
Btw, old reddit used to display the exact upvote/downvote counts (“x upvoted, y downvoted”) for posts AND comments in the “title” attribute of the total number, visible as a tooltip when hovering the mouse over it. All that “x% upvoted it” for posts and removing the counts entirely for comments was nonsense pushed through by the previous reddit jerk CEO on 2014-06-18 against all community opposition (what is it with reddit and dumping unpopular changes in June?).
If you gonna recreate old reddit, please do not include these later CEO meddlings in it! One of the best features of lemmy is the display of exact counts (which was also a major advertised draw of voat.com and raddle.me before it). Let’s keep that in!
Honestly, this is such a damn game-changer it’s not even funny. Excellent work.
Once phone-apps spin up, I think you’ll see another massive wave of those abandoning Reddit, which has screwed so many over—including developers.
Why fix what isn’t broke? I appreciate that you’ve adopted tried-and-truth UI designs to take this site to the next level and improve upon it
