I’ve added a bunch of new features to Alexandrite (a third party Lemmy alternate web UI for desktop)!

alexandrite.app - !alexandrite@lemmy.world - Github

Lemmy Settings

You can now change most of Lemmy’s settings (just not language/avatar/banner/2FA/password).

Mod tools

A lot of mod tools were added. You can view reports and be able to do most things except appoint/removing mods and viewing the mod log.

Scroll between top level comments buttons

Floating at the bottom of the page when viewing a post you will now see a little navigation bar that lets you scroll between comments (and a similar one on the post list that lets you scroll to the top of the page).

Better markdown editor

The text editor used when making posts/comments has been upgraded! Now you can find buttons for bold/italic etc, most of the things you can do on the official website.

If you have any issues let me know, or create an issue on Github.

    Great work, a couple of feedback suggestions

    On the reports page it has the wrong name for the user’s comment being reported.

    Example: User A makes a comment and User B reports it, in the Alexandrite report page it shows User B’s name as the author of the Comment being reported instead of User A, with User B’s name as the reporter as well.

    When you click remove/ban there is no prompt box to enter in a reason for the mod action to appear in the mod log.

    Fantastic update though, thanks so much!

    Outstanding work. I’ve already told you several times this is the only way I care to use Lemmy, you’ve now made it that I don’t need to consider another way. Thank you :)

    I really hope instance admins get to see your work, it deserves to be the default UI IMO.

      not sure a desktop forward UI should be default, that kinda ruins the experience for mobile users

      But already we are seeing lemmyworld and others now have m.lemmy.world for mobile forward theme, old.lemmy.world for the reddit style skin and at least one instance now has new.x.x for alexandrite
