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!

Looks good! Sadly I can't seem to login with my lemmy.dbzer0.com account though.

This is great! Going to be using this from now on! I would love it if the content was centered tho. Other than that this is what I've been looking for!

I also love that they added endless scrolling. This is really a must in any social networks nowadays.

Whoa, reading this title was really trippy.

[-] HiroNase@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I love the Alexandrite UI

[-] emuspawn@orbiting.observer 2 points 1 year ago

That's rather nice looking! I might have to deploy this and try it out on my instance.

[-] Aurix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Looks pretty cool from the first impression.

Is there a way to disable the community sidebar when opening a post?

wow, this ui is sick :)

[-] Rreeddeerr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I like this very much, so much indeed that I would like to be able to install it as a web application on my phone like I was able to do with Photon (install button is not showing up however)

Says I'm rate limited, then on refresh, banned. I don't think any other person in my household uses lemmy.world at all, so I wonder if it's just the high amount of traffic going to it from Comcast users.

Nice! Thank you.

Aaaaand, it's gone.

Doesn't appear that I'm currently unable to add a comment on the a.lemmy.world version of posts, but I can on here just fine.

[-] sheodox@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Did you sign in on there? The login session on lemmy.world and a.lemmy.world isn't shared, so you'll need to login on a.lemmy.world to post/comment on there.

[-] zerkrazus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh whoops, duh @ me. I've done that and now it's working. Thanks.
