Tested out Alexandrite after a long time mulling about it (and being busy otherwise), and I'm amazed at how pretty and snappy it is. I should have done this earlier.
More than it being pretty and snappy, I also love the functionality it packs. I can switch between my alts in one place and not have to have to go to separate sites for it. It takes some setting up on my password manager (specifically, the part where you need to log-in onto a particular instance), but my password manager's custom fields took care of that.
Once I've set things all up, my workflow here in Lemmy now resembles that of the other place, with me being able to switch between alts (for different niches/interests) and browse accordingly. Now, I just have to get used to the UX and I'm all set! The UX is nice, no complaints about that. It still kinda alien to me, however, especially how clicking on a post opens it in a panel of sorts. It is a good feature though.
One of the nice things about Alexandrite is that the communities you subscribe to are easy to access.
Ah, yeah! It's nice that they're there on the left side. In the default interface, or at least the default that I used, has them crowded on the right side. It's a bit hard to click on any one of them (plus there's sometimes two of them in a line).
Holy shit, ngayon ko lang nakita na they show what communities you're subscribed to sa bottom right. Thanks for this hahaha. Pero I prefer yung sa Alexandrite na it's higher up. For the default interface, gumagamit ako ng add on para nasa taas siya like in RES.
Yeah! Yung settings ko naman sa RES is that usually hidden siya, unless ipakita mo siya (kinda like how it works in Alexandrite), so this is really convenient for me. Yun lang, mejo nasanay na rin ako sa default interface ng Lemmy (darkly-compact) so mejo naninibago ako ulit.
