We just added Alexandrite to the server, it’s an alternative desktop UI for Lemmy created by Sheodox who worked tirelessly to make the necessary changes to we could host it ourselves here. So go to https://a.lemmy.world and have a look!

He continues to update it constantly, you can follow the development on his github page or in his community. If you like what you see and want to support him, why not buy him a coffee? :)

For those who don’t have Lemmy World as their home instance and want to use Alexandrite, either ask your instance admins to add it or go to https://alexandrite.app!

Edit: I should probably have mentioned that Alexandrite is meant for desktop!

      Yes, that’s mentioned twice in the announcement. Bit of an oversight that you missed that 😁

            Meant for the desktop means it’s not meant for anything else. It’s mentioned twice and if you read this thread you see that both myself and the developer made some comments about it already.

            If you want to have something that works well on mobile either stick with the default UI, check out Voyager at https://m.lemmy.world or try Photon at https://photon.xylight.dev. We provide options and you make the choice if that works for you or not.

              Yes, I’ve read the original post. I’ve also read the reply, where your second sentence ironically demeans the user’s opinion. You can think it but certainly shouldn’t write it, as an admin.
