Do you hate the way Beehaw website looks? Do you long for the days of that other site with the old formatting??

Well Beeple; I present the old interface thanks to Mlmym! Give it a try if that’s your thing - https://old.beehaw.org.

A note here though, that is an external project dealing with the Lemmy aspects in their own way. If you find an issue or bug on https://old.beehaw.org, please try the same on https://beehaw.org before crying foul. Please report any issues or bugs to the right place to get them fixed.

It appears to work with RES. I am sold.

Can’t figure out how to get it going with RES, despite a trawl through the settings. If you can give any pointers I’d be grateful.

I honestly don’t know. I had been using old.beehaw.org for a day or so when I noticed my browser had populated some communities to the shortcuts across the top, which is when I posted the previous comment, but when I tried to rearrange them (as you can do in RES) that didn’t work. So maybe it’s not actually RES but just an attempt to make it visually the same as RES?

Ah yeah. Mine has this also, but I dimly recall the other site had that without RES enabled, at least when not signed in?

Actually like how Beehaw looks, and the flow of using it is a lot better than the rest of the Fediverse, but on a small screen this “old” style is much easier for me to use.

It’d be cool if one day we could load up *ES settings to run here, but I’d guess two sites are so different under the bonnet, that such wranglings may not be viable.

Definitely nice to have, thanks. I have gotten used to Lemmy’s UI, which, honestly, isn’t that bad, especially when compared to the other site’s new UI. But I’m gonna give this one a try either way, as I might find myself reminiscent of it.

Figured this was a good a place as any… when loading this post, it always reports the server is under maintenance: https://beehaw.org/post/7563292

Thanks for letting us know. Unfortunately, Lemmy itself does not distinguish between a 404 and a 500 error, typically passing the 502 instead of the not found. Working on fixing that properly and also finding an acceptable workaround.
