Hello, it’s been a while!
I did most of this release like 6 months ago but never got around to finishing it up until yesterday.
There’s a bunch of small theme changes, biggest being a slightly different header bar, and in general a lighter light theme and darker dark theme.
There’s now a search field in the sidebar which lets you quickly search through your subscriptions, with a link to a full community search. You can search for a community by name, or for example @lemmy.world
to see all from a certain instance.
By default now when using the “Card” layout the vote buttons are on the left now and all the buttons on this layout are a bit larger. If you prefer the vote buttons on the right like it was you can change it back in the settings.
On all the feeds there’s now a refresh button on the bottom right so you don’t need to refresh the whole tab.
There’s a new “Feed Layout” option that makes it so clicking post links will bring you to that post page directly instead of opening it in the overlay or a second column.
That’s about it for now! I hope to add some more missing features soon!
You’re back! Great to see that Alexandrite is still being maintained. Thank you for your work!
I was feeling pretty bad about leaving it untouched for so long, but working on (any of) my side projects wasn’t interesting me for a while. However with all the general social media turmoil out there (Meta trying to be more evil, US banning TikTok, and billionaires in general being just the worst) I figured I should do my part to improve the appeal of the fediverse. Seeing lots of things I want to improve, and I’m remembering how much I like making things look nice.
