What I really want is a design that shows me twice as many posts at a time, there's too much wasted space.

A comparison photo with old.reddit.

That's how it should work! Click on post and instantly see the content and comments, without loading a whole page

beautiful! and the fact that i dont have to open a new tab for comments!

Wow, thank you. I acutally was hoping you were going to add this becasue Alexandrite is the best desktop UI for Lemmy so far.

It also means Lemmy.world is turning into the best instance already because they're the most user-friendly and customizable one.

Great work!

FYI: I got rated limited on the first link but the second time worked right away. There might be some glitch there.

Just dropping in to say this UI is beautiful and the features are superb. Thank yous for all the lemmy world staff and Sheodox for the time and dedication!

I want to caution that every new ui is a potential security risk. When it's a mobile app then it's entirely on the user to decide if they trust it, but when it's hosted the host is implicitly giving a seal of approval so I think at least a bit of a code audit should be done, especially since xss is much more of a risk on the web.

There's already been one security breach on the default Lemmy skin, so I think it would be a good idea to do an audit for every new hosted ui and include a section for it on these posts. You don't necessarily need to crawl through every line of course, but it'd be good to cover what framework and rendering engine it uses and acknowledge any risks associated with them.

I love the side-by-side view. No more opening posts in new tabs for me.

Huh, as soon as I went to the link I got banned by the server admin and rate limited?

This is such a huge improvement over the base Lemmy theme. I just need a light theme now!

I love this, thanks.

I'm in love! Smooth, modern, and simple. One thing to note - the "hue" option for the theme in the settings is not very obvious at first or comfortable. We need some kind of visible color pallete or some squares with color options.

Also, Ctrl+Enter should allow me to post my reply immediately, but it doesn't.

Such a nice interface!

My experience:

1. First load errored out over ... something
2. Second page load: I'm greeted with a rate limit. Nice.
3. Load: finally worked

Nice! Thank you.

This is amazing.

Great work Sheodox. Its beautiful!

Seeing custom web UIs being deployed officially and directly on the same domain as Lemmy instances is incredibly encouraging. I wonder if my Leanish will be polished enough to be published that way eventually.

One can dream!

Thank you for all your hard work.

I want to add my praise to the heap.

I'm pretty happy with Voyager on mobile, but when writing something, it's not ideal.

The generic Lemmy UI is more than OK on desktop, but the lack of error code reporting to the user was frustrating, at times I tried to resubmit posts and comments and the spinning Submit button just kept on going, for some communities in particular. So I stopped posting in these communities.

Now, with Alexandrite, I feel like this is a good UI that I really like. And I love that you write out the background error message for why posting or commenting fails!

Really nice job!

Thanks for adding these UIs as an alternative. Especially m.lemmy.world, it feels like a native app.

Wow that is really cool, I hope you can add photon https://photon.xylight.dev/ at some point, it is super beautiful too

Is there a post with all the different enabled UIs?

Nice, the more options, the better. This looks gorgeous in a tablet.

I like it but one thing I would change is the position of my subscribed community: from the left self-hiding sidebar to the righ always visible one

It's really great that you are moving so quickly and supporting your community in this way, but I wonder if all these front ends are potentially going to create a bit of a long term maintenance headache? How are we certain that they don't introduce any new vulnerabilities and how are we staying on top of those when they happen? I worry that each new frontend adds burden to an already small community for a potentially minor practical gain.

Don't get me wrong, you guys are doing awesome stuff, and I'm consistently impressed with this instance. That's just the first thing that comes to my head having done software for many years myself.
