Like many of you I'm here because I'm done with reddit. I'm just getting started here and I found a front end for Lemmy that provides the old reddit interface. I like the lemmy.world interface just fine, but old habits are hard to break. I think using Lemmy with this front end will help me spend more time here because of the familiarity.
if you have friends that are having a hard time transitioning over, maybe recommend http://mlmym.org to them.
Login doesn't carry over so it makes me wonder too - if this isn't a hosted instance but you're actually logging into your home instance and this is just an overlay reading your home instance's data - then why would the overlay require you to login?
