Picture of the current 0.19.15 version
The devs and designers are not playing around, this is looking amazing.

Thx! We’ve been doing a lot of work on it lately.
Plz open any issues or suggestions for improvements to https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues
you’re welcome!
Thank you very much for your and Nutomic’s hard work. I thought you guys deserved some praise.
the new search page looks so good
but the unlabled “All” dropdowns are a bit confusing
Completely agree about this, we are currently discussing it. One possible solution would be a label for the dropdown.
We need to make some uncommon buttons (eg. show hidden posts) more hidden in the UI. While others such as switching sort type and feed type should be very prominent. So that a new user can figure out intuitively how to find good content. If any of you know about design and UX, please tell us your suggestions!
oh shit they have multi communities
And private communities. As mod you need to approve every follower manually. Others cannot see any posts/comments in the community.
One of the most expected features!
I notice the sidebar says “Active Plugins”, which is dope, I think plugin’s will open up a lot of possibilities for Lemmy. I’ll have to look around, but it got me thinking: I wonder if it’s a worth it now, or if it would be a pain in the ass, to spin up my own test instance (not hard) to start building and playing around with the plugin system.
@nutomic@lemmy.ml are the instructions under the plugins section of join-lemmy.org still valid if I wanted to do some plugin development tinkering?
Follow these steps:
- Use the
nightlyDocker image for Lemmy and lemmy-ui - Setup postgres, pictrs and nginx according to the usual 0.19 instructions
- Specify plugins in Lemmy config (docs, example)
- You need to specify the hash for each wasm file (check logfile for error message), or set
DANGER_PLUGIN_SKIP_HASH_CHECK(not merged yet, part of the PR above)
Let me know if this works, then I will add it to the documentation. Or better yet, make a PR yourself ;)
Edit: Config from the test server:
plugins: [{ file: "https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-plugins/releases/download/0.1.3/rust_lingua.wasm", hash: "e1f58029f2ecca5127a4584609494120683b691fc63a543979ea071f32cf690f", allowed_hosts: ["0.0.0.0"] }]- Use the
Good because I had to start using alexandrite on desktop cause it was the most bareable. I hope they keep making the ui more user friendly over time.
What exactly do you like about Alexandrite compared to the default? From what I can see:
- Full-page layout while lemmy-ui is more centered
- Posts open in overlay
- Comment search, neat!
- Card view (you can also try that on our test instance with Lemmy)
- Anything else?
I don’t think Lemmy’s previous UI was bad but I don’t think it was great. I’ve been using Tesseract on the desktop - not only is it’s UI “better”, but it has great additional features.
Same here. Alexandrite has been the best for me too. I hope the official UI gets as clean.
why would they name it voyager, it’s so confusing wtf
That’s the name of the test instance, they have several, they’re all named after StarTrek ships.
I didn’t know that. Lemmy really loves StarTrek
There is also enterprise.lemmy.ml which runs the stable version. And ds9.lemmy.ml but that is currently not active.
StarTrek is cool and good!
