I am still around, but I’ve always been a lurker. Just saw the notification so I’m a couple days late. I do see mentions!

If it works like blocking works for users/communities, posts from blocked instances shouldn’t show up in Alexandrite too.

Yep, this is a bug I’m aware of, for what it’s worth there’s also an issue on Github someone reported this in. You can track it here.

Yep, I would like to do that at some point, just haven’t been working on Alexandrite all that much lately, but it’s still on my todo list!

Or find and replace all the periods with ones that are slightly larger font.

Ooo I like that idea!

Yes, launching the game launches Ubisoft’s launcher and you have to sign into that to play.

Also if you use Proton it doesn’t auto close the launcher when you quit the game so it’ll run up your play time while the launcher is minimized to the system tray.

This is intentional, but I’ll probably be changing it.

When you click a post while in a feed it changes the URL so it’s easier for people to share links to posts, as people probably are most used to copying a URL out of the address bar to send to people. It causes a lot of issues though, like the one you mentioned, and the ‘back’ button on your browser basically doesn’t work either. Because of all of that I’m probably going to remove that feature, and make a more prominent “share” button somewhere.

You can link to communities/users by typing the full name/instance stuff out, but I don’t have any search/auto-complete stuff for either of those yet.

Good idea!

Oh yeah, I added a few hotkeys too, forgot to mention that! You can find them documented on the hotkey help page.

Woo! :D Thanks!

Huntabyte has some great tutorials!

Nope, it does everything client-side as of about a month ago.

Hey, just wanted to let you know this should be fixed now!

There are a few moving parts here: instances have a list of all languages it knows about, admins can restrict what can be used on the site (“discussion languages”), and communities can further restrict what languages they allow (if no mods speak Swedish, no use allowing it because you can’t moderate it), and on top of that you can select which languages you use in Lemmy’s settings. Alexandrite now respects all these settings/restrictions.

Some communities only allow posting in “Undetermined”, and Alexandrite defaults to selecting “English”, so if it was in one of those communities that’s why you were having issues. Should be good now though.

I didn’t see anything about it, but I wish they would change how typing a message works. When my keyboard is open it’s so big it covers the chat and I can’t see the message I’m typing so I just have to hope I’m typing what I think I am.

I think this UI looks neat, totally room out there for both of them! :) I think it actually looks a bit closer to Photon. I’m always down for more apps because we all benefit from new ideas.

Some communities can restrict which languages you’re allowed to post in, and I haven’t yet made Alexandrite respect that list, I imagine that’s what you’re running into. Fixing this is on my todo list!

I’m planning on adding alternate post styles in the (hopefully near) future. A more compact style is one of the styles I want to add.

There’s an option in the settings that makes the left sidebar not auto-hide if you just want to always be able to see them.
