Is Lemmy's default user interface too plain, too minimal, or too uncomfortable for you? Alexandrite's web client makes every aspect better.

    I don’t like webui’s for lemmy. This means they’re getting all your traffic. It’s a mitm situation again, much like google’s amp links.

    If I’m running a dedicated app, I can validate that my traffic is going directly to my instance and not being farmed and sold by a 3rd party behind the scenes.

      Uhh… not clear on what you’re claiming here… you can validate the traffic is going to the expected instance using a web app, without requiring any special software by running Developer tools and heading to the network tab.

        That checks it only for the current session, though. The app might do nefarious things only on new moons, or on a specific date. It might also get updated at any point with completely new code without you noticing.
