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!

Totally my fault, but other than not reading that it was not designed for mobile and getting so excited that I tried it on my phone and wondering why it wasn't working, I really love it! It'll be my main theme on my laptop now. Any plans to also design a mobile interface?

Edit: found out there is already an alternate mobile interface thanks to the comments below. I'll give that a try later. I do really like the color scheme of Alexandrite though.

I do definitely want to make it work on mobile at some point! It'll probably be a while though.

Hey, thanks for replying. That's great to hear! It's looking great on my laptop. I'd really like to be able to use it on my phone as well. Excellent work!

Thanks! :)

That is something the Alexandrite developer @sheodox@lemmy.world can reply better than me. As far as I know the focus is on desktop use! And it does a great job at it imo!
