Mlmym (also known as old.lemmy) isn't maintained anymore, and features are starting to become unusable as instances are migrating to newer versions. Would someone be interested in forking the project?

Maybe petition the Lemmy devs to not pointlessly break API v3 since they’re moving to v4?

Playing devils advocate. Lemmy isn’t reddit and the only reason people used old reddit was because new reddit was unusable to them.

As with new context and new front ends that Lemmy has, no one with the technical skills seems to care about this enough and blaming Lemmy Devs for not tiptoeing around unmaintained software so development grinds to a halt isn’t fair. It’s like saying “they don’t want to support it, and I don’t, but you shouldn’t spend your free time doing so”.

I have some interest in trying to take that on if it’s really unmaintained now. I use mlmym and want to make sure we continue to have an interface that works w/o JS. I have relevant web programming experience, but not with Go specifically.
