Is Lemmy's default user interface too plain, too minimal, or too uncomfortable for you? Alexandrite's web client makes every aspect better.

I’m using it right now on new.endlesstalk.org

It’s beautiful yes, but it’s also kinda dumb. Lots of page elements (like the community banner and notifications section) need manually refreshing to show anything, and I need to press ‘Go’ after changing view (like Subscribed/All or Hot/New) like the web of ancient times. This may just be how it’s implemented at endlesstalk, but there’s other irritations like not having the option to upload a picture when creating posts, and it not actually doing anything if I change my settings to toggle ‘Show NSFW’

It looks like that instance isn’t using the most up-to-date version since the “press go” issue has been fixed. Try to keep in mind that the initial commit was on June 24 and it’s still very early in the development stage. If you look at the commits, you can see the developer has been very active.

To be fair, according to the article this project is less than a month old! I’m sure it will continue to improve.
