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:
