Yep, this is a bug I'm aware of, for what it's worth there's also an issue on Github someone reported this in. You can track it here.
Yep, I would like to do that at some point, just haven't been working on Alexandrite all that much lately, but it's still on my todo list!
Or find and replace all the periods with ones that are slightly larger font.
Oops forgot to post links, I edited the post.
I host Alexandrite at https://alexandrite.app/ and several instances also host Alexandrite on their own domains, like https://a.lemmy.world
Yes, launching the game launches Ubisoft's launcher and you have to sign into that to play.
Also if you use Proton it doesn't auto close the launcher when you quit the game so it'll run up your play time while the launcher is minimized to the system tray.

Just a few things this time, the biggest is mod team management. You can now add and remove mods from the "..." menu on posts and comments. You can also find links to the modlog to see what actions have been taken against that user.
You can also remove mods or leave the mod team of a community from inside the "Moderation" area of the sidebar (note: the "Modlog" link moved inside this section too as it's not useful to most people)
Alexandrite settings will now automatically update in every tab instantly, so if you change the theme in one tab, when you switch to another already open Alexandrite browser tab you'll notice it'll already be using your new theme.
When viewing reports, they will now be sorted by newest report first, instead of oldest post/comment first.
For the self hosters out there, Alexandrite should now have arm builds thanks to ismailkarsli on Github! (Thank you!) The image builds now take a little longer, and the build isn't quite done yet so you might have to wait a bit until it's available.
That's it for now. Next release will probably be Lemmy 0.19 support, and I believe I'll finally be able to add image uploading then too (it might be in the next release after 0.19 support).

You can link to communities/users by typing the full name/instance stuff out, but I don't have any search/auto-complete stuff for either of those yet.

I've been away on vacation but I'm back with a new release of Alexandrite!
The mod log is now implemented! At the moment you can see a community's modlog from the top of the community sidebar, and the instance modlog from the bottom of the instance sidebar (I'll likely change where these links are at some point). Now moderators should be able to do even more stuff without leaving Alexandrite.
Additionally there's a link to the modlog when viewing a user's profile (also in the sidebar), which lets you see the mod actions that have been performed on them. This should help moderators identify problematic users.
In both cases, you will see a content warning screen before being redirected to the actual modlog, but you can disable this for either all communities or for the ones you moderate in the settings.
Icons for NSFW communities will now be hidden unless you have "NSFW Thumbnails" set to "Show" in the settings. Previously it would just always show icons.
Moderators looking through reports will now see the post or comment's score (and vote breakdown on hover) so you can see at a glance what the community thought about something. Additionally it also shows how long ago a report was made.
Then just some random improvements. The community header's buttons now collapse into a "..." menu if the screen isn't wide enough to fit them all, and the header at the top of the page is now darker (in dark mode) and lighter (in light mode) which I think looks a lot nicer.
I'll soon release 0.8.5, but that'll just be a quick bug fix, as I realized when writing this post that the "No" button on the modlog content warning doesn't redirect to the right place sometimes.

Just some quick features!
When creating a post there's now a button to suggest a title based on the URL you entered. Just enter a URL then click "Suggest Title"
Then if you want to use that title hit the button!
You can create a post without first visiting the community by clicking the new "+" button in the header. The menu looks a little bit empty right now, but I'll add more stuff here later.
Also:
- Added the ability to edit/delete/report private messages
- Links to external sites in markdown now open in a new tab
- If you have the "Keep navigation sidebar open" setting enabled, it will now open by default

Alexandrite 0.8.1 - Cross-posting added! Bug fixes for instance taglines and nsfw thumbnails
(lemmy.world)
Alexandrite now has cross-posting! You can cross post from the '...' menu on posts:
You then pick a community from your subscriptions, or search for any other community, or directly enter the full name like alexandrite@lemmy.world if you want a very specific one and don't want to bother with searching.
And links to cross-posts will now show when viewing a posts:
Alexandrite now matches Lemmy-UI handling taglines. If an instance has any taglines set it will now pick a random one instead of showing all of them.
Lastly if you have NSFW thumbnail handling set to "Hide" or "Blur", it will now hide/blur thumbnails when a post is in a NSFW community, even if the post itself isn't marked NSFW, as the post is probably actually NSFW anyway and it's better to be safe than sorry.
Oh yeah, I added a few hotkeys too, forgot to mention that! You can find them documented on the hotkey help page.
Woo! :D Thanks!

You're now able to theme Alexandrite a lot more, I'm excited to see what color schemes you all can come up with!
alexandrite.app - !alexandrite@lemmy.world - Github
There's now a light mode! Alexandrite will now detect your system's default color scheme and use that, but you can force dark or light mode in the settings. This is the default hue/saturation on light mode:
You can also change the saturation to make it as gray or as colorful as you want, plus you can customize the hues of links and up/downvote buttons (downvotes in screenshots just for demonstration!)
Here are the settings for themes now. There are numbers next to all the sliders to make it easier to share customizations! I might add a few presets in the future.
Posts look a little nicer. The content on them shows using similar styles to the previews on the cards. The "View Source" button is now a small button in the top right corner of the post.
Some 0.7.0 features I didn't mention here before:
There's an option when using the "List" post layout that shows a preview of the post content like the card layout does.
Oh speaking of version numbers Alexandrite now releases with version numbers! You can find the version number in use on the "About Alexandrite" page. You can read more on the version number announcement.

EDIT: This is now released, see the 0.8.0 release announcement
Please let me know if you have any feedback or find bugs! Note, if you are just seeing a bunch of exclamation marks instead of images and are viewing on alexandrite.app, that's a bug I just noticed, click the "Original Post" button on the post to view on lemmy.world. I'll fix that bug tonight.
I've been working on a light mode, and I added hue customization for links and votes, plus you can customize the base theme saturation. Light/dark mode will be chosen based on your device's preferred setting, but you can set one specifically on the settings page.
Here's the default colors for light mode (up/down votes for illustrative purposes lol):
If you don't want it to be so colorful, lower the saturation:
Or if you prefer a more 'plain' dark mode:
Here's all the settings:

Lot of new features since my last post!
alexandrite.app - !alexandrite@lemmy.world - Github
You can now pick between list (default), compact, and card layouts for posts in the feed. Use card if you want to see large images and a preview of the post content as you scroll (card is my favorite now).
Use compact if you want to see as many posts as possible.
The rest of these are things I've announced over at the Alexandrite community (!alexandrite@lemmy.world) but not here yet.
You can now create an account through Alexandrite.
Your instance/community/personal settings for discussion languages are now all taken into consideration, so if you ever saw a language_not_allowed error that should be fixed now. You can also set your discussion languages in the Lemmy tab of the settings (there still isn't any interface language or localization support yet but I want to fix that at some point).
You can now self host Alexandrite, check the Github readme for details. It's also on a.lemmy.world if you hadn't heard already.
You can search in comments and next/prev through the results
Comments by community moderators will now have a "Mod" badge next to their name.
Mods can also chose to remove content or make a temporary ban from the ban dialog.

I am still around, but I've always been a lurker. Just saw the notification so I'm a couple days late. I do see mentions!
