There have been a number of posts here previously pointing out the mlmym github project and the associated mlmym.org demo site. Unfortunately many people seemed to gloss over the fact that the latter was a demo site, i.e. not meant to be permanent. As of this morning it appears the demo has run its course, and the site now redirects to a github project file listing several Lemmy instances that are running mlmym themselves. Most of these are “single instance” and only work for the Lemmy instance that hosts them, e.g. old.lemmy.sdf.org works for the lemmy.sdf.org instance and only that instance. If you’re on one of those instances then your best bet is to use their built-in version of mlmym.

However, the same file lists two sites which provide the same functionality that mlmym.org provided: lemmy.bolha.one and o.opnxng.com. Either site will let you specify (nearly) any Lemmy instance and display it in the old reddit format (or the Kirkland equivalent anyway).

Finally, if you’re one of those do-it-yourself types you can always self-host mlmym and view Lemmy instances that way. There’s even a Docker deployment command available

Whatever the case, if you were previously using mlmym.org to view Lemmy in the old reddit style it’s time to switch to a different method.
