Doesn't work. It says I'm temporarily banned.
Turn off your vpn?
For the record, it does work with VPN. I use a VPN and am successfully using it.
I don't use a VPN.
Doesn't appear that I'm currently unable to add a comment on the a.lemmy.world version of posts, but I can on here just fine.
Did you sign in on there? The login session on lemmy.world and a.lemmy.world isn't shared, so you'll need to login on a.lemmy.world to post/comment on there.
Oh whoops, duh @ me. I've done that and now it's working. Thanks.
Whoa, reading this title was really trippy.
Says I'm rate limited, then on refresh, banned. I don't think any other person in my household uses lemmy.world at all, so I wonder if it's just the high amount of traffic going to it from Comcast users.
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.
Wow that is really cool, I hope you can add photon https://photon.xylight.dev/ at some point, it is super beautiful too
That's rather nice looking! I might have to deploy this and try it out on my instance.
Nice, the more options, the better. This looks gorgeous in a tablet.
Such a nice interface!
Working for me now.
just needs "alexandrite" in the header changing to lemmy.world i think, and maybe the logo changing
Yep, I'm actually working on making those changes now.
Yooo, this is dope. Looks great, responsive, and good use of screen space. I love the retractable sidebar.
I love the side-by-side view. No more opening posts in new tabs for me.
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!
Great work Sheodox. Its beautiful!
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
Is there a way to disable the community sidebar when opening a post?
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.
We have the devs of all but one of the alternative UI's on our discord server. We try to provide options for our users as well as give some extra exposure to the Lemmy developers community by hosting these on LW. It's actually pretty cool to see that devs from different apps are going through each other's code and are being helpful. And other community members are actively helping the developers test (and request) new features.
So that is one of the things that we did to "play safe". But I understand your concern and I'll have a talk with the team how we can organise something like a code review of the UI's we host.
We have one more UI to be announced soon. And that will most likely be the last one we will add.
