It seems that the dev burned out.

That was supposedly the best front-end we had, right? Sad to hear--I hope I can become good enough to help revive projects like this.
On a sidenote, what other frontends are to be used in the meantime? I'm hoping one of the few is still being maintained somewhat

If you’re on desktop, Alexandrite is great. The 2-column view really maximizes screen real estate.

Is the dev of Alexandrite even active anymore? The last commit was 5 months ago.

i hope so, alexandrite is what I've used for awhile now and I quite love it.

[–] asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev 2 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah. I really love the UI. I just wish it had more features.

best? i dunno about that. it was an option, tho.

i prefer Photon, or just the default.

You are on PieFed.social, so you do not have "frontends" like Lemmy does, you (we) have "themes" - go to Account -> Settings -> Themes, like Trans Pride, Card Shadow, etc. I use "PieFed".

Sorry not to hijack, but I’m in the process of adding PieFed support to my Lemmy client, if you’re looking for a new home. You can try it out at blorpblorp.xyz. I have a lot of work to do before I can live up to these more mature clients like Tesseract. Tesseract had some really nice media embeds that I’m missing.
