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!

My experience:

First load errored out over ... something
Second page load: I'm greeted with a rate limit. Nice.
Load: finally worked

Nice! Thank you.

I kinda like the general layout, but that color scheme is annoying. Can I change it somehow?

[-] leraje@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yep, just go to 'Settings' under the Profile icon, top right.

[-] SomethingBurger@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You can change the colors but not remove them entirely. It's not possible to have it entirely white on black.

This is excellent news :) I've been using Alexandrite since u/sheodox announced it so I'm very pleased to see it added as a dedicated front end for .world :)

[-] MakeItCount@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Looks great but really needs a light theme

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.

Great work Sheodox. Its beautiful!

[-] nanny07@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I like it but one thing I would change is the position of my subscribed community: from the left self-hiding sidebar to the righ always visible one

[-] sheodox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

There's an option in the settings that makes the left sidebar not auto-hide if you just want to always be able to see them.

Looks really nice!

[-] valen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

And the developer is quick to add features. Highly recommended for desktop.

[-] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Doesn't work. It says I'm temporarily banned.

Wow, I love this a lot. Initially chuckled at the theme color slider in the settings, but it's unironically a great way to edit that haha.

My instance (lemdro.id) has Photon as their modern look alternative, which also looks pretty sleek IMO, but I think I'll be using this going forward mostly because it's more desktop-looking than Photon's more mobile-centric layout.

Fantastic work on this, can't wait to see how it grows going forward.
