I’ve added a bunch of new features to Alexandrite (a third party Lemmy alternate web UI for desktop)!

alexandrite.app - [email protected] - Github

Lemmy Settings

You can now change most of Lemmy’s settings (just not language/avatar/banner/2FA/password).

Mod tools

A lot of mod tools were added. You can view reports and be able to do most things except appoint/removing mods and viewing the mod log.

Scroll between top level comments buttons

Floating at the bottom of the page when viewing a post you will now see a little navigation bar that lets you scroll between comments (and a similar one on the post list that lets you scroll to the top of the page).

Better markdown editor

The text editor used when making posts/comments has been upgraded! Now you can find buttons for bold/italic etc, most of the things you can do on the official website.

If you have any issues let me know, or create an issue on Github.

    Great work, a couple of feedback suggestions

    On the reports page it has the wrong name for the user’s comment being reported.

    Example: User A makes a comment and User B reports it, in the Alexandrite report page it shows User B’s name as the author of the Comment being reported instead of User A, with User B’s name as the reporter as well.

    When you click remove/ban there is no prompt box to enter in a reason for the mod action to appear in the mod log.

    Fantastic update though, thanks so much!

      Thanks for letting me know!

      I’ve fixed the comment name bug (when dealing with reports who is who was pretty confusing for a while, missed a spot when fixing stuff!). I also added a prompt for a reason when banning or removing.

      I also realized I don’t have buttons to ban/remove on posts, I will do that after work today! I have some code cleanup I want to do at the same time.

      Please let me know if you have any more issues!

      Just wanted to let you know I finished my code cleanup and added the ability to ban users and remove posts from the menu on posts. Any other mod tools you find yourself going back to the default UI for?

        nope, its 100% better than the default UI, the ability to use mod actions from the report screen is amazing. Thank you so much for your work
