I typed in “ani.social” in my phone browser, expecting to see the normal Lemmy UI. Instead I’m confronted with the Alexandrite front end. I don’t think I clicked anything to give me this front end; I think it’s a total surprise to me, it’s possible I’m an idiot who missed something and accidentally clicked a setting. Asking for help here after clicking around in more settings trying to figure out how to turn it off.
It’s still using default Lemmy-UI. Just tested on both my phone and PC with Firefox and Brave. What browser are you using?
Alexandrite is at https://alexandrite.ani.social/ani.social
🤔 I’ll test the other FE for a few days, there was two reasons I stopped using interstellar that I resumed back with lemmy. Iirc one of them was not allowing my diverse input method: need shavian, UTF-16, CJK, markdown support, etc…
not op.

photon.ani.social’s on a old version that uses a different way of lemmy’s resizing, they’re ~11 months out of date
I could potentially add an option to waste heaps of bandwidth and load full images for everything (like everyone else, including lemmy-ui) but it seems wasteful
Yeah I haven’t updated Photon in quite a while. Updated just now! Thanks!
Maybe give the option then, default to crunching. But I like the card system in Alexandrite & lemmy, that auto expands the post. I enrolled here because I enjoy my instance’s «Local» posts, so I would be wasting (2 Bw Post ×) for the local feed if I expanded every post.
For «All», sure I can see the (subs clients posts Bw ×) savings, but not «local.»
Do you mean searching the post using the URL (such as https://ani.social/post/17919648)? It doesn’t seem to work for Alexandrite and Tesseract. It works for Photon though.
I don’t think it’s a config issue because it also doesn’t work on the developers’ deployment too: https://alexandrite.app/ and https://tesseract.dubvee.org/
oh lol, thanks.
Yeah Φton is an instant “nah” for me. But funny that the other two I prefer broke that necessary component of lemmyverse.
I’m on Safari on my cellphone. Trying another browser, weirdly enough, makes it normal again. Thanks!
Interesting. I don’t have an Apple device to test Safari but I’ll do some research on what’s going on.
Okay, 14 days later my ani.social is back to normal on Safari!
