Hi all our lovely users,
Just a quick post to let you all know that along-side the upgrade to 0.19.3, we’ve also added a couple of alternate UIs to the Blåhaj lemmy for you.
Obviously the default lemmy-UI at https://lemmy.blahaj.zone still exists and has been updated to 0.19.3 alongside the lemmy server update.
There’s also now an Alexandrite UI at https://alx.lemmy.blahaj.zone which is a more modern, smoother UI, written in svelte, by sheodox.
And then for those who are nostalgic for reddit days of yore, and memories of when PHP websites last ruled the earth, there’s MLMYM (courtesy of rystaf) at https://mlmym.lemmy.blahaj.zone.
Please enjoy, and I hope the upgrades work well for you.
If frontends are things that can just be hosted using (mostly) the same amount of resources the default frontends would use, what about a frontend that makes use of both lemmy and sharkey. I know that the 2 services have some overlap thanks to the protocols. And i personally may not get much use from such a frontend being a primarily mobile user. But i guess that i’m just curious if there are efforts for a multi-protocol fediverse frontend.
Not that I am aware of, and not that it’s not possible, but the protocols are quite different, the Lemmy API, the Misskey API (with various dialects for Sharkey, Iceshrimp and Firefish) and the Mastodon API (with Akkoma, Pleroma, etc) are all very different from each other and even making a third party UI that completely understands and implements a single API / dialect is an enormous undertaking.
