New UI Alternatives

After looking at our UI for a while I thought, someone will have created something special for Lemmy already. So I opened our development server, told it to get the bag rolling and investigated all the apps people have created.

Have a play around, all should be up and working. If there are other apps, ideas, or ways you think reddthat could be better please let me know!

Enjoy 😃

P.S. External UIs are a security issue

I would like to let everyone know that if you are using an external non-reddthat hosted UI (such as wefwef.app for example) you have given them access to full use of your account.

This happens because Lemmy checks for new notifications by performing GET requests via the api with the cookie in the URL field. https://instance/api/v3/user/unread_count?auth=your-authentication-cookie-here. This URL shows up in the logs of the third-party user interface. So if the third party was nefarious, they could look at their logs and get your cookie. Then they can login to your account or perform any requests.

So please only use the Reddthat user-interfaces as listed here & the main sidebar.
(If you are worried, you can log out of the thirdparty website, which will invalidate your cookie).
