According to search results from packages.ubuntu.com you need to install ubuntu-unity-desktop meta-package ("The Ubuntu Unity desktop system"):



sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop


Then reconfigure LightDM as main greeter when prompted or manually with



sudo apt install lightdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm


And continue to use it as before. Below are a screenshots from 18.10:
