I noticed that kbin has stalled in development recently and the ongoing problems with federation etc. made me use it even less for the past few weeks. I even spent more time on reddit than here.

Today, I decided to give my abandoned lemmy account a try and see how that goes.

As many others, I disliked the UI of lemmy, compared to kbin, but soon enough found this one https://p.lemmy.world and it's been very smooth so far.

So yeah ... hello from the other side of the fence ๐Ÿท

That's a really nice alternative interface for desktop! I wonder if other instances implement it other than lemmy.world? It's cool that that that instance admin has, though. It looks superb.

Its default purple theme matches my overall browser theme completely by accident, lol.

You can use Alexandrite regardless of instance by using the official webpage for it: https://alexandrite.app/ . That's what I'm using right now.

You'd add your instance link after the /, so in your case it's https://alexandrite.app/feddit.uk . You'll automatically be redirected if you log in anyways though, which is nice.
