I noticed that lemmy.world and slrpnk.net host old.lemmy.world and old.slrpnk.net and I was wondering if there was any interest in doing that here. Personally, I think it meshes with the SDF vibe.
Edit: this would be in addition to regular Lemmy
Edit 2: it looks like they added it at old.lemmy.sdf.org. Thank you @SDF@lemmy.sdf.org!
I had meant in addition to the regular Lemmy UI as something cool for people to use if they want to… not force everyone to use it 🤣. When I tested lemmy.world vs old.lemmy.world just now, respectively, I got 14.31 seconds vs 6.98 seconds with 32 requests each and 1.5MB vs 4.8 MB transferred (all this was done un-cached in Chromium). So on my end, old is heavier, but also faster.
Regardless, I just think that the old front-end is cool and retro looking, and I was wondering if others here thought the same or not.
