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!

    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

      There’s an option in the settings that makes the left sidebar not auto-hide if you just want to always be able to see them.

        But I found a bug, it start hidden even with the option checked: you have to open it at least one time
