Alexandrite is slick, gorgeous, and brings a lot to the Lemmy experience. I highly recommend giving it a try.

(dev here) I hadn't really considered it as a full replacement before, but hosting it alongside the instance like a desktop version of m.lemmy.world is something I think would be neat (at least one instance is doing that, with a custom Dockerfile because I haven't made one yet). I'd need to add some mobile support (which I'm not against doing in the future) and some admin tools probably before it could be a full replacement, both would probably not be for a bit still because I'm still working on feature parity for normal users. Also still waiting on a Lemmy issue to be fixed before I can add image uploading which is the most basic feature the site lacks at the moment.

I'd like to be able to run it as an alt UI on my instance as well.

Wefwef/voyager works well as a mobile interface. It only has an iOS style interface now, but it’s really good, and they’re working on an Android skin if that’s a dealbreaker

A beta version of the Android theme is already in as of 0.24.0! It's still a work in progress, but Wefwef dev seems to move along at an impressive pace.

True, I've been using Voyager on my phone and it's a big improvement over lemmy-ui in my opinion.

I exclusively use Lemmy via voyager.
