Rate limits are being tweaked to combat ddos. You might experience some issues while they are being optimised. Apologies
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.
Am I missing smthing? If I open vygr or old I see posts. When I open a.lemmy I can only see a generic post about lemmy nothing else
(dev here) Sorry! The post forgot to mention Alexandrite is meant to be a alternate UI for desktop. There are a lot of issues if you try using it on mobile at the moment, because I haven't done the work to support it yet. I would keep using whatever you've been using on mobile.
What I really want is a design that shows me twice as many posts at a time, there's too much wasted space.
I agree. I hate the trend of moving away from information density. It may seem silly, but it's the number one reason I can't use an iPhone.
I'm planning on adding alternate post styles in the (hopefully near) future. A more compact style is one of the styles I want to add.
That's how it should work! Click on post and instantly see the content and comments, without loading a whole page
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.
Rate limits are currently being fine-tuned so yes there may be some issues at the moment while our team sorts things out
I like the UI so much more than the standard Lemmy. This should be the default UI. Hopefully he make a light version.
Anything that gets nearer to a RES-like experience from Reddit is an absolute plus. This UI is brilliant.
The genius thing about it is the way it fully utilizes the whole width of a display, with the post content appearing in between the list of posts and the sidebar. I haven't seen another Lemmy/Kbin UI that does this.
It might only be suitable for widescreen desktop use, but it does that one thing very well.
Immediate rate limit. Opened home page, pressed communities.
Rate limited.

Thank you for your work!
As soon as I click on a link I get rate limited. That may need to get adjusted.
beautiful! and the fact that i dont have to open a new tab for comments!
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!
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'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.
I love this, thanks.
Great stuff! I've been using Alexandrite for the last few weeks and it's become my default UI. I love that you can pin the navigation bar open and favourite communities (click on the icon to star it).
This is excellent news :) I've been using Alexandrite since u/sheodox announced it so I'm very pleased to see it added as a dedicated front end for .world :)
Wow, I love this a lot. Initially chuckled at the theme color slider in the settings, but it's unironically a great way to edit that haha.
My instance (lemdro.id) has Photon as their modern look alternative, which also looks pretty sleek IMO, but I think I'll be using this going forward mostly because it's more desktop-looking than Photon's more mobile-centric layout.
Fantastic work on this, can't wait to see how it grows going forward.
I kinda like the general layout, but that color scheme is annoying. Can I change it somehow?
You can change the colors but not remove them entirely. It's not possible to have it entirely white on black.
Looks fantastic!!
This is such a huge improvement over the base Lemmy theme. I just need a light theme now!
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.
Maintenance in regards to updates is not an issue. All the extra frontends we added run in docker and are automatically updated twice a day to make sure we are always running the latest stable versions. All apps are using the Lemmy api's just like the 3rd party apps and should anything break we have ways to contact the developers.
Thank you!
And the developer is quick to add features. Highly recommended for desktop.
When I try to post anything with Alexandrite active I get told something about Language not Allowed or some similar alert. I like the look, but the inability to post is kind of a deal breaker.
Whoa, reading this title was really trippy.
