Frontend Cleanup: Let me know if you're using old.dubvee or alex.dubvee

Currently, we host 4 UIs:

Due to all the bot crawler traffic that slips through, I'm having a hard time distinguishing actual usage from bot traffic. That said, it does seem like Mlmym and Alexandrite are rarely used by actual people (there's a lot of bot traffic to filter out that spoofs its user agent, so I could easily be wrong here).

Update: Mlmym does all the Lemmy API calls server-side, so all of the actual usage traffic was actually originating from my server (which I was filtering out).

I'm looking to decommission Mlmym (the old Reddit style) and Alexandrite.

I just updated both of those to the latest, so apologies for the brief disruption if you were using them, but ultimately I'd like to trim down the selection to just the ones being actively used.

So, poll time: Are you using old.dubvee.org or alex.dubvee.org? If so, please make your voice heard and I'll keep them around. If not, or if I don't hear back, I'll likely decommission them this weekend.

Update: Will keep Mlmym (old Reddit-style). Alexandrite is still up for decommission unless someone is using it as well.

  • I was using old, but only out of inertia since it looked familiar. Don't keep it around just for me, though; I just switched to tesseract.

    • Thanks.

      Not really a hassle to keep around if it's being used; it's pretty lightweight. I'm just in a house-cleaning kind of mood and wasn't sure if anyone was using it. I used to daily drive it until I switched to Photon and then built Tesseract to replace that. Haven't used it much since then, personally.

      Will go ahead and leave it since it is being used; sometimes I feel nostalgic for old Reddit myself and may want to relive that lol.

  • I just use Tesseract. It's like new Reddit but doesn't suck.
