I’ve added a bunch of new features to Alexandrite (a third party Lemmy alternate web UI for desktop)!
alexandrite.app - !alexandrite@lemmy.world - Github
Lemmy Settings
You can now change most of Lemmy’s settings (just not language/avatar/banner/2FA/password).
Mod tools
A lot of mod tools were added. You can view reports and do most things except appoint/removing mods and viewing the mod log. It was a lot of functionality to add at once, and it was working well in all my tests but if you notice anything odd or broken please let me know!
Scroll between top level comments buttons
Floating at the bottom of the page when viewing a post you will now see a little navigation bar that lets you scroll between comments (and a similar one on the post list that lets you scroll to the top of the page).
Better markdown editor
The text editor used when making posts/comments has been upgraded! Now you can find buttons for bold/italic etc, most of the things you can do on the official website.
If you have any issues let me know, or create an issue on Github.
The best lemmy UI imo. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Great news! Especially the mod tools
This is awesome! Thanks for the work that you’ve put in!
Can you support dynamic light/dark theme?
Eventually I want to add a light theme, but it’ll probably be a while yet.
why this happen good sir??? O:
I’m not sure, I get the comment count from one place, and the list of comments from another, so it’s the server saying there are two comments but then not giving me any. I’ve seen on the official ui that sometimes the comment count doesn’t match how many comments I see (like on the lemmy.world crosspost of that it says there are 3 but shows me two), so I just assumed it’s a bug on the Lemmy side but maybe I’m wrong.
Great, thank you! Is this to be intended to selfhost? Maybe via docker?
Eventually yes, but I haven’t done the work yet. It’s high on my todo list though.
