Or find and replace all the periods with ones that are slightly larger font.

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.

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!

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.

Some communities can restrict which languages you’re allowed to post in, and I haven’t yet made Alexandrite respect that list, I imagine that’s what you’re running into. Fixing this is on my todo list!

I’m planning on adding alternate post styles in the (hopefully near) future. A more compact style is one of the styles I want to add.

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.

I assume there’s an API to allow individuals to develop their own front end if they wanted? Is there any documentation to this end?

Yes there’s an API (docs here), but the docs are little more than type definitions right now so it takes a bit of digging to figure out what you’re meant to do. You can look through all the methods on the LemmyHttp section of the docs, and watch the network tab in your browser’s dev tools to figure out which APIs are called.

Did you sign in on there? The login session on lemmy.world and a.lemmy.world isn’t shared, so you’ll need to login on a.lemmy.world to post/comment on there.

Thanks! :)

I do definitely want to make it work on mobile at some point! It’ll probably be a while though.

Yep, I’m actually working on making those changes now.

There’s a slider in the settings for the hue used for all the background/borders/text etc, so you can change it from purple to other colors, like:

Eventually I plan on adding more customization so you can change the colors of links/votes, and I need to make a light theme because so many people want that too.

(dev here) Sorry! The post forgot to mention Alexandrite is meant to be a alternate UI for desktop. There are a lot of issues if you try using it on mobile at the moment, because I haven’t done the work to support it yet. I would keep using whatever you’ve been using on mobile.

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!
