userscript called “old.reddit” found here: https://github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey

  • (recently updated for Lemmy v0.18)

  • original thread link here

  • This is primarily for desktop clients. At the moment, formatting get a little crazy below 1280 px wide. There are ways to address this, but I have not at this time.

  • script will be updated as suggested

    • significant changes have been made to address alignment, spacing, and other format issues. v1.1 will be where I stop for a while.

  • there are two script versions: old.reddit and old.reddit.compact. The primary difference is that the “compact” version greatly reduces thumbnail size and padding space.

  • notice: current script unblurs NSFW

(linked thumbnail shows old.reddit.compact version of the script)

    Yes. I’ve also looked around a bit in different subs and many of them dont even have a banner wider than a few pixels. I guess thats as good as it gets as long as there are no specified banner sizes enforced all across the network. And of course not everyone uses your glorious script (but I’ll spread the word, its really really cool!).
