Alexandrite is slick, gorgeous, and brings a lot to the Lemmy experience. I highly recommend giving it a try.

    If it’s also intended for use on iPhone, it’s not ready. Renders too wide on my device.

        I assume you didn’t read the comment I was replying to, which asks if it can be used as a default ui on a server, which affects everyone, but thank for questioning my comprehension ability.

      it is clearly meant for use on desktop

      While there are quite a few mobile apps on Android and iOS now, one interesting area gets overlooked: alternative web frontends.

        As I said to the other person:

          asks if it can be used as a default ui on a server

          that is irrelevant. the point is, that this is considered desktop solution. it is expected that everyone uses some kind of app on the phone, so the fact that it renders too wide on your iphone is irrelevant.

            “it is expected that everyone uses some kind of app on the phone”

            lol ok

            lemmy apps are still in development, don’t even reflect some server settings correctly, and the only version of lemmy that works totally as intended is the web portal, but we’re all expected to be using apps for everything?

            sure, buddy

            edit: also the point is that someone asked if it could be used as a lemmy instance default front end, which would only make sense if only desktop users ever logged in via a browser. How you cannot absorb this detail is beyond me really.

              it is clearly stated this is a desktop solution, so keep complaining it doesn’t work on your iphone. i am sure if you add little more sarcasm, it starts making sense.

                The comment I replied to clearly asked if they could use it as a default instance front end. I know you want to cast the question I was responding to as also irrelevant, but it just isn’t, when plenty of people log in via a mobile browser, whether you like it or not.

                  oh. i think i finally get your objection, although it is still unbelivable to me. are all iphone apps that bad that you would rather use the web interface?

                    On Jerboa - probably the most developed/supported Android Lemmy app - text input is so buggy that it’s practically unusable for me. Trying to edit the end of a comment will sometimes remove chunks from the middle, backspacing a few characters from the end of a word deletes the space in front of it etc.

                    lemmy apps are still in development and all are subtly buggy, so until those are updated and refined, sometimes the web view is the only accurate one. So yes, at times I prefer the browser.

                    edit: for another example, see the Reddit app. I entirely prefer the browser over it.

        Which, again, is why I was pointing this out in reply to someone asking if it could be used as the default ui on a lemmy instance.

          I get that. Thing is an instance can use multiple alternative front ends, so I don’t want to shut down the question, because it’d make sense to run one for desktop and mobile (voyager for example).

            Or possibly just adjust aspects of the responsive design to correctly present for mobile viewports, but the point still stands that having it as a default for an instance is a premature notion right now due to anyone logging into that instance on a mobile browser.

                I also backed up and now see what you meant about being able to have multiple front ends for an instance. I read that as being able to select a frontend, not as having an “instance.com” and a “m.instance.com” at the same time, but that would solve the concern I raised. Yeah, we’re good.

                  👍

                  Yea, lemmy.world have m.lemmy.world that provides voyager nee wefwef.

                  endlesstalk.org have three. m.endlesstalk for voyager, old. for the old reddit web ui and new. for alexandrite.

                  Kinda cool! I’m not sure many other fediverse platforms are doing it, in part, I’m sure, to the hard separation that lemmy has between its backend and frontend.

                    Interesting, I have a lemmy.world account but I don’t think I’ve seen the mobile view in my browser. At least, the url stays the same for me, it’s one of the reasons I didn’t consider that possibility. I’m used to seeing a m.domain variant on other sites. I’ll have to experiment and see if going to that specific url changes something.

                    edit: I’ll be damned, it does give me a whole different interface I never knew about.
