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!

Wow, thank you. I acutally was hoping you were going to add this becasue Alexandrite is the best desktop UI for Lemmy so far.

It also means Lemmy.world is turning into the best instance already because they're the most user-friendly and customizable one.

Great work!

FYI: I got rated limited on the first link but the second time worked right away. There might be some glitch there.

Rate limits are currently being fine-tuned so yes there may be some issues at the moment while our team sorts things out

I'd just like to say that some of us smaller instances have had both old.* style and Alexandrite active for a a few weeks ;)

  • old.lastname.nz (0.18.3 has broken this for now)
  • my.lastname.nz
