Oops forgot to post links, I edited the post.

I host Alexandrite at https://alexandrite.app/ and several instances also host Alexandrite on their own domains, like https://a.lemmy.world

Yes, launching the game launches Ubisoft’s launcher and you have to sign into that to play.

Also if you use Proton it doesn’t auto close the launcher when you quit the game so it’ll run up your play time while the launcher is minimized to the system tray.

You can link to communities/users by typing the full name/instance stuff out, but I don’t have any search/auto-complete stuff for either of those yet.

Good idea!

Oh yeah, I added a few hotkeys too, forgot to mention that! You can find them documented on the hotkey help page.

Woo! :D Thanks!

Nope, it does everything client-side as of about a month ago.

I think this UI looks neat, totally room out there for both of them! :) I think it actually looks a bit closer to Photon. I’m always down for more apps because we all benefit from new ideas.

Another random reply to an old comment! I’ve got a branch out for self hosting Alexandrite if you happened to be interested in trying it out at all, more info on this post.

Eventually I do want to implement a light theme, but it’ll probably be a bit!

(dev here) I totally understand that, I wish Lemmy had that or oauth, I don’t like handling passwords just as much as you don’t want me to!

I use Imagus and it doesn’t work well with Alexandrite, I was trying to find some documentation on if I could support Imagus from the website side somehow, like attributes to provide non-thumbnail image URL hints but I hadn’t found documentation yet.

I’ve been meaning to try building something similar into Alexandrite at some point otherwise.

True, I’ve been using Voyager on my phone and it’s a big improvement over lemmy-ui in my opinion.

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.

(dev here) I hadn’t really considered it as a full replacement before, but hosting it alongside the instance like a desktop version of m.lemmy.world is something I think would be neat (at least one instance is doing that, with a custom Dockerfile because I haven’t made one yet). I’d need to add some mobile support (which I’m not against doing in the future) and some admin tools probably before it could be a full replacement, both would probably not be for a bit still because I’m still working on feature parity for normal users. Also still waiting on a Lemmy issue to be fixed before I can add image uploading which is the most basic feature the site lacks at the moment.

Thanks! :)

(dev here) I had an idea for how I’d build a profile switcher recently, it’s something I want to implement soon.

Eventually yes, but I haven’t done the work yet. It’s high on my todo list though.

Eventually I want to add a light theme, but it’ll probably be a while yet.

Thanks!
