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!

This is most definitely not suitable for mobile. The default Lemmy UI is optimized for mobile.

Similarly, this is what I see with Alexandrite on my ultrawide using a tiling window manager. Whereas Lemmy fits perfectly. And I really like how Lemmy's responsive UI shows the community sidebar when there's enough width to do so, which will often contain very useful info for members browsing posts on the community.

So no, I don't think this UI has been optimized for anything other than a maximized window on a FHD display.

Yes that's what it says in the announcement. It's an alternative desktop UI. Haven't tried it with a tiling wm myself because frankly I don't like them. We provide options, you can make the choice ๐Ÿ™‚
