I am an old. I do not know what that means. It’s not lemmy.world dependent but yeah, a nicely tweaked interface(?) It has very cool kind of neon style. Clean, readable. Flexible layout. I use it in a browser on my phone too.
Sweeeet desktop first, that’s the gap cuz Voyager iOS is SO good
Right after posting, I changed my mind about the proxy guess… (sounded wasteful to have to kinda [briefly] mirror so much Lemmy) Thinking direct API calls. Oh yeah indeed client-side rendering, so like:
A Lemmy instance (Lemmy.World, etc) maybe is like kinda a pump station, while Alexandrite is like a high-end faucet. It’s not actually producing or storing water but it sure makes it much better to use than simply having an open pipe.
Well at least perhaps we know the phrase “client side” out of all that!
(One final analogy attempt: we can download a Lemmy app from an App Store and use Lemmy pretty much directly. What if the app was hosted somewhere but nothing else changed? That’s Alexandrite in my mind.)
Forgot I made an account on another instance and they both show up with this more purple theme so that screenshot you’re showing is throwing me off but there’s a whole series of tweaks you can do in their settings. I guess I have it set to default. Might have forgotten to look for Alexandrite community. Thank you.
Trying to subscribe to https://lemmy.world/c/alexandrite but it’s loading poorly, not bringing up my remote instance, giving server error at the moment… And, got it. Searched from my instance with this !alexandrite@lemmy.world as they describe in the sidebar, it’s pending.
alexandrite.app - neat, Lemmy World proxy/interface?

Almost always fail to load pics here.
Maybe this will work…
Edit: Duh, yeah a proxy (said with absolute confidence)

Looks like screenshots here for me:https://lemmy.world/post/1095076
