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!

I like this very much, so much indeed that I would like to be able to install it as a web application on my phone like I was able to do with Photon (install button is not showing up however)

Love the UI, however when I go to another community from the homepage I cannot get it to go back to homepage (without clicking the Lemmy.world banner top left). The back button changes the URL to the previous page, but the page itself stays on whatever community I opened.

When I click "Subscribed" at the top, nothing happens.

okay, yes, i dig it. especially the much better arranged comment trees. and the content on the right side is actually a quite nice idea. after hiding the sidebar you can basically scroll and consume in a endless loop. This may or may not be something good..

It's really nice.

One issue (already mentioned probably): the time with a minus sign confuses me, I keep thinking it represents downvotes.

Instead of -4 h, maybe 4 h ago?

Unusable in mobile, which in this day is rather big oversight.
