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!

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

The m. Is voyager app. You can actually make a shortcut on your phone and it turns into an app.

Using it right now! But since I do, I wonder how (why) this works? What keyword would help me find info about that?

Progressive web apps!
