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!

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

Rate limits are being tweaked to combat ddos. You might experience some issues while they are being optimised. Apologies

Yeah, I tried to reload the page because it already showed an error.

I did get a successful hit on the web page. It's good that they are finally tackling the screen width issue. It also comes with auto-reloads as well.

My only complaint is that the items are a bit too tall. It could be shrink down to a more compact space to fit more items per screen-full.
